The New York Times trashes the Trump administrations operation in Venezuela and capturing their their president Nicolás Maduro

The New York Times editorial board railed against President Donald Trump’s military strike on Venezuela Saturday, calling the strike and US capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro “illegal and unwise.”

“Mr. Trump has not yet offered a coherent explanation for his actions in Venezuela. He is pushing our country toward an international crisis without valid reasons,” the board wrote in an editorial published hours after Trump announced the strike had occurred. “If Mr. Trump wants to argue otherwise, the Constitution spells out what he must do: Go to Congress. Without congressional approval, his actions violate US law.”

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were captured during a U.S operation.
