Protests Follow Reported Arrest of Maduro

Protests were reported in Argentina, the United Kingdom, and Greece after claims that the US military detained Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife and transferred them to detention in New York, USA. Demonstrators in London and Athens condemned the alleged action as imperialism, accusing Washington of seeking control over Venezuela’s natural resources. Some protesters cited statements by US President Donald Trump to argue that Venezuela’s oil and mineral wealth were the real targets. US authorities have not publicly confirmed the claims.
