Donald Trump has just shared an image of Nicolas Maduro, showing the Venezuelan leader arrested and under surveillance.
The US president writes that the Venezuelan counterpart is currently aboard the US warship USS Iwo Jima, suggesting that the US government has taken control of the Venezuelan leader.
Maduro, dressed in a gray Nike tracksuit, holds a bottle of water in his hands.
Maduro's eyes are covered with a black band and he appears to have large headphones over his ears. It is not clear whether Maduro is with his wife, Cilia Flores, as she is not seen in the photo.
Earlier in the day, Trump had stated that Maduro is on his way to New York, where he will face serious charges of narco-terrorism and links to international drug trafficking.
This action underscores US efforts to punish the criminal activities of Maduro and his regime.
The event is expected to have a major impact not only on Venezuela's domestic politics, but also on international relations and the US strategy against narcotics and terrorist groups in the region.
Otherwise, Maduro has been arrested along with his wife at the government residence in the capital, Caracas. /Telegraph/
