It was a moment of geopolitical déjà vu.
-
On the same calendar day, separated by thirty-six years, United States forces once again seized a Latin American leader and transported him to American soil to face criminal charges.In 1989-90, troops sent by then President George HW Bush, detained Panamanian military dictator General Manuel Noriega, a onetime US ally and CIA informant. Now again on 3 January 2026, US forces ordered by President Donald Trump literally abducted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro along with his wife Cilia Flores. Maduro was voted as President and has been in power since 2013.
In both cases, Washington used military force to secure strategic assets in the Western Hemisphere - the Panama Canal then, and Venezuela's vast oil reserves now. In fact, hours after Maduro's capture, Trump, dropping all pretence, said that the US will "tap" Venezuela's vast oil reserves and sell "large amounts" to other countries. Maduro and his wife were flown from Caracas to New York and transferred to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where they are to face drug trafficking-related charges.
