Death toll from US invasion of Venezuela rises to 80: Report
The US military operation targeted Venezuela's oil industry to block adversaries and resulted in 80 deaths, with Maduro transferred to New York to face charges.
- On Saturday, US special forces seized Nicolás Maduro, President of Venezuela , in Caracas while American fighter jets bombed military installations; a senior Venezuelan official told The New York Times the death toll has risen to 80.
- US officials said Venezuela hosts Iran, Russia, Hezbollah and China, which the administration said it would no longer tolerate; Marco Rubio, US Secretary of State, on Sunday announced an oil `quarantine` enforced by US naval and Coast Guard assets.
- Hours before the airstrike, Nicolás Maduro met a special delegation from Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Miraflores Presidential Palace, while Russia and China condemned the US attack.
- International responses ranged from condemnation by Brazil, Colombia and Chile to cautious welcome by European countries, while Delcy Rodríguez said pro-government supporters marched in Caracas and warned `The extremists who have promoted armed aggression against our country- history and justice will make them pay`.
- With 303 billion barrels of crude, Venezuela's oil reserves account for 17 per cent of global reserves, exceeding Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, and more than three times the United States.
