Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro appeared in a U.S. court following his capture and transfer to the United States. 

Renowned Pan-Africanist Patrick Lumumba says the United States' foreign policy is increasingly displaying contradictions that reflect a power struggling to define its role in a changing global order. 

The United Nations Security Council is set to convene an emergency session today (Monday) to discuss the U.S. attack on Venezuela and the subsequent kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.

The Acting President of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez, says the Latin American country has the right to peace, development, sovereignty, and a future.

Venezuela's Supreme Court has ordered that Vice President Delcy Eloína Rodríguez Gómez assume the presidency of Venezuela in an acting capacity.

China has urged the United States to abide by the one-China principle and to stop the "dangerous moves of arming Taiwan".

China issued the statement in response to the latest U.S. announcement of large-scale arms sales to the Taiwan region.

Worldwide condemnation has followed the United States attack on Venezuela and the capture of President Nicolas Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores.

United States authorities say Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro faces criminal charges linked to drug trafficking and weapons offences in the United States.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Maduro has been indicted in New York.

'Brutal' and 'flagrant' are the terms used by the Ambassador of Venezuela to Namibia, Dr. Magaly Henríquez, to describe what she says was a military attack by the United States on Venezuelan territory and the capture of President Nicolás Maduro.

Venezuela has rejected and denounced military aggression perpetrated by the government of the United States of America against Venezuelan territory.

The government of Venezuela says the United States bombed areas of Caracas, the capital, and the states of Miranda, Aragua, and La Guaira.
