Summary:
On January 3, U.S. special operations forces, acting on President Donald Trump's orders, conducted a raid in Caracas and captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife.

The raid is viewed as a clear expression of Trump's revived Monroe Doctrine, linking U.S. national security and law enforcement, and signaling potential increased action against authoritarian leaders considered security threats.

Scripture: Proverbs 21:30-31
"There is no wisdom and no understanding And no counsel against the Lord. The horse is prepared for the day of battle, But victory belongs to the Lord."
