Maduro in court as Trump mulls next moves
Bangkok Post
|January 06, 2026
Deposed Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was due to appear in a US court yesterday after his weekend capture by American forces, with US President Donald Trump leaving open the possibility of another incursion if the United States doesn’t get its way with Venezuela's interim government.
-
Mr Trump told reporters on Sunday that he could order another strike if Venezuela does not cooperate with US efforts to open up its oil industry and stop drug trafficking. He also threatened military action in Colombia and Mexico and said Cuba's communist regime “looks like it’s ready to fall” on its own.
The remarks by Mr Trump came on the eve of Mr Maduro’s scheduled appearance yesterday before a federal judge in New York. Mr Maduro was detained during a military raid on Saturday in Caracas that has plunged Venezuela into uncertainty.
