The power was cut, explosions ripped through the city and the US military swept in. The country\u2019s president, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/nicolas-maduro\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\">Nicol\u00e1s Maduro<\/a>, was snatched from his home \u2026 and from power.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">For months Trump has been waging a maximum pressure campaign against Maduro. He accused him of being responsible for drug trafficking and illegal immigration into the US. A huge naval armada was moved to the Caribbean and fishing boats were attacked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Yet the capture and removal of a sitting president, flying him to the US and then indicting him on drug trafficking charges shocked the world. <strong>Julian Borger,<\/strong> the Guardian\u2019s senior international correspondent, explains to <strong>Annie Kelly<\/strong> why it could be the beginning of the end for our rules-based international order. \u201cTrump is thrilled by the use of a military force. That will be a worry to Denmark when it comes to Greenland. It\u2019ll be a worry for Cuba. It\u2019ll be a worry to Mexico and to Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"670411aa-340e-4c6f-9230-ea8be2d380b6\" data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.ImageBlockElement\" class=\"dcr-173mewl\">\n<div id=\"\" class=\"dcr-1t8m8f2\"><picture class=\"dcr-evn1e9\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/fcf48c9747052f9e087b27565c3d1c72e6301cbd\/1_0_4164_3333\/master\/4164.jpg?width=620&amp;dpr=2&amp;s=none&amp;crop=none\" media=\"(min-width: 660px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.25), (min-width: 660px) and (min-resolution: 120dpi)\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/fcf48c9747052f9e087b27565c3d1c72e6301cbd\/1_0_4164_3333\/master\/4164.jpg?width=620&amp;dpr=1&amp;s=none&amp;crop=none\" media=\"(min-width: 660px)\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/fcf48c9747052f9e087b27565c3d1c72e6301cbd\/1_0_4164_3333\/master\/4164.jpg?width=605&amp;dpr=2&amp;s=none&amp;crop=none\" media=\"(min-width: 480px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.25), (min-width: 480px) and (min-resolution: 120dpi)\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/fcf48c9747052f9e087b27565c3d1c72e6301cbd\/1_0_4164_3333\/master\/4164.jpg?width=605&amp;dpr=1&amp;s=none&amp;crop=none\" media=\"(min-width: 480px)\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/fcf48c9747052f9e087b27565c3d1c72e6301cbd\/1_0_4164_3333\/master\/4164.jpg?width=445&amp;dpr=2&amp;s=none&amp;crop=none\" media=\"(min-width: 320px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.25), (min-width: 320px) and (min-resolution: 120dpi)\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/fcf48c9747052f9e087b27565c3d1c72e6301cbd\/1_0_4164_3333\/master\/4164.jpg?width=445&amp;dpr=1&amp;s=none&amp;crop=none\" media=\"(min-width: 320px)\"\/><img alt=\"Two men on a motorcycle pass a mural of Nicol\u00e1s Maduro\" src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/fcf48c9747052f9e087b27565c3d1c72e6301cbd\/1_0_4164_3333\/master\/4164.jpg?width=445&amp;dpr=1&amp;s=none&amp;crop=none\" width=\"445\" height=\"356.19236311239194\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"dcr-evn1e9\"\/><\/picture><\/div><figcaption data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" class=\"dcr-fd61eq\"><span class=\"dcr-1inf02i\"><svg width=\"18\" height=\"13\" viewbox=\"0 0 18 13\"><path d=\"M18 3.5v8l-1.5 1.5h-15l-1.5-1.5v-8l1.5-1.5h3.5l2-2h4l2 2h3.5l1.5 1.5zm-9 7.5c1.9 0 3.5-1.6 3.5-3.5s-1.6-3.5-3.5-3.5-3.5 1.6-3.5 3.5 1.6 3.5 3.5 3.5z\"\/><\/svg><\/span> Photograph: Ronald Pena R\/EPA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>#Trump #ousts #Venezuelas #President #podcast #news<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the early hours of Saturday&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9397,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9396"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9396"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9396\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9397"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9396"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9396"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9396"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
