US Raids Venezuela, Moves President Maduro From Palms to Brooklyn
KEY POINTS
- •On Saturday, the US captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, during a special ops raid.
- •They were transported from Caracas to a Brooklyn federal jail, awaiting a court appearance.
- •Business Insider announced a panel discussion on Monday to explore the raid’s legality, military implications, and oil market impact.
On a Saturday that felt more like a Hollywood plot twist than international diplomacy, the US arrested Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, relocating them from the sunny Caribbean chaos of Caracas right to a not-so-glamorous Brooklyn jail. Executed by some Delta Force special ops unit that apparently moonlights as blockbuster stunt doubles, the raid has everyone asking if US troops will camp out in Venezuela or just crash oil markets like an uninvited DJ. Business Insider’s crew—legal eagle Kaja Whitehouse, defense whisperer Jake Epstein, and oil market hero Joe Ciolli—promised to break down the drama at a Monday noon Netflix binge they call a ‘conversation.’
