The capture of Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces has sparked global controversy. President Trump insists the operation was legal, citing an "armed conflict" with Venezuelan drug cartels. The move aligns with Trump's strategy to restore U.S. dominance in the Western Hemisphere. Critics including French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot argue it violates international law and could lead to more military interventions. The situation has raised concerns about the erosion of global legal order and the role of powerful nations. Meanwhile, tensions with countries like Colombia and China have intensified, highlighting the complex geopolitical landscape.
