Timeline of key moments up to Maduro's capture
We've pulled together some of the key moments from Nicolás Maduro becoming Venezuelan president to his capture by the US on Saturday:
2013: Maduro, a former bus driver and union leader, succeeds left-wing President Hugo Chávez to become president
2020: The US charges Maduro and 14 members of his inner circle with narco-terrorism, drug trafficking, money laundering and corruption. It also offers a $15m (£12.5m) reward for information leading to Maduro's arrest.
2024: Maduro is declared winner of the presidential election, even though voting tallies collected by the opposition suggest its candidate, Edmundo González, won by a landslide
2025: In January, the US increases its reward for information leading to Maduro's arrest to $25m (£20.40m). This reward is then doubled in August to $50m (£37.2m)
February 2025: Donald Trump says in a post on Truth Social that Venezuela has agreed to take back migrants who had come to the United States irregularly
September 2025: The US launches strikes on what it says are drug-smuggling boats, targeting vessels in the Pacific and the Caribbean. Between September and December, more than 100 people were killed in the strikes.
October 2025: Trump authorises the CIA to conduct covert operations inside Venezuela. Maduro addresses the "people of the United States" in a television address, saying "no war, yes peace"
January 2026: The US strikes Venezuela and captures Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores. The couple are flown to a detention centre in New York where they are charged with weapon and drug offences. Maduro has previously denied being the leader of a drug cartel
