Spies, drones and blowtorches: How the US captured Maduro
2 weeks ago - In Maduro's compound, as elite US troops flooded in, Trump said the Venezuelan president - who has reportedly increased his reliance on Cuban bodyguards in recent months - attempted to flee to a safe room. "He was trying to get to a safe place, which wasn't safe, because we would have had the door blown up in about 47 seconds," Trump said. "He made it to the door. He was unable to close it. He got bum rushed so fast that he didn't get into that [room]." When asked if the US could have killed Maduro, an authoritarian leader who took over the presidency in 2013, if he had resisted arrest, Trump said: "It could have happened."

The US president said Maduro tried to enter a steel-fortified safe room and made it past the door, but was unable to close it. Maduro was captured by the US army's Delta Force, the military's top counter-terrorism unit, after a CIA source in Venezuelan government helped the US track his location. More than 150 aircraft were used to get the extraction team into the capital. Trump added that no US forces were killed and there were "few" injuries.
