Caracas, Venezuela – The United States has seized an airplane belonging to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro at the request of US federal prosecutors. The plane was taken by US authorities in the Dominican Republic and flown to Florida. This action by the US represents a significant move against Maduro’s regime.
