How much will change in Venezuela after Maduro's capture by the US_

About this episode

As of January 5, 2026, Venezuela is in a state of extreme flux following the capture of Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, by U.S. forces on January 3, 2026. The situation involves a complex transition of power, aggressive U.S. economic plans, and a volatile regional security landscape. Trump has publicly expressed a lack of confidence in opposition leader and Nobel laureate María Corina Machado, stating she lacks the internal respect to lead, despite her calls for an immediate transition to Edmundo González Urrutia.
