Trump Confirms U.S. Delta Force Captured Venezuela's Maduro

President Donald Trump has confirmed that the elite U.S. Army unit known as Delta Force led the operation to capture Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. Delta Force, officially named the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta, is a secretive special missions unit. It specializes in counter-terrorism, hostage rescue, and direct action raids against high-value targets. The unit's soldiers are selected from the Army's best special operations personnel. Their training is among the most rigorous in the U.S. military. The confirmation directly links this top-tier U.S. force to a major geopolitical event. The capture of a sitting head of state is an extremely rare operation. Details of the mission, including when and where Maduro was captured, remain undisclosed. The development marks a significant escalation in the ongoing crisis in Venezuela.
