US abduction of Maduro: Venezuela says Qatar helped secure ‘proof of life’

Venezuela's acting president, Delcy Rodriguez, stated that Qatar helped obtain "proof of life" for President Nicholas Maduro after he was abducted by US special forces. The abduction was part of a large-scale US military operation that also included bombing key military installations across Venezuela, resulting in at least one hundred deaths. Rodriguez confirmed that Qatar facilitated a channel of communication between the United States and Venezuela to work on an agenda beneficial to both nations. Following the strikes, which former President Trump described as a "brilliant" mission, Venezuela's defense minister announced the nationwide deployment of military forces to resist the foreign aggression.
