Footage shared by Donald Trump to boast of Venezuelans taking to the streets en masse to celebrate his ouster of Nicolás Maduro is actually from an unrelated 2024 demonstration.
Trump, 79, announced on Saturday that Maduro, 63, and his wife, Cilia Flores, 69, had been captured in Caracas after a military operation led by the Delta Force, the elite special operations unit of the U.S. Army.
Facing criticism for not having won congressional clearance for the move, the president amplified footage on Truth Social presented as scenes of people celebrating in the South American country after Maduro was taken into U.S. custody two days earlier.
