Trump said the United States was prepared to launch a second, “much larger” attack if necessary. Maduro was indicted in New York on drug trafficking and weapons charges, with the U.S. attorney general saying he would face justice in American courts. Venezuela has since declared a national emergency, denouncing what it called “extremely serious military aggression.” Support stories that matter.
