"US President Donald Trump addresses the press at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach following reported strikes on Venezuelan military bases and his claim that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife were captured, on Saturday, January 3. Trump claimed the United States carried out large-scale military strikes in Venezuela and stated that Maduro and his spouse are in US custody. Venezuelan authorities reported explosions and military activity in Caracas and the states of Miranda, Aragua and La Guaira and announced emergency measures. At least seven loud blasts were heard around 2 am local time, and plumes of smoke were seen rising over parts of the city, particularly in the southern area close to Fort Tiuna and near La Carlota Air Base, both major military installations in Caracas."
