Former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro arrived in New York City by helicopter and was transferred into an armored vehicle under escort by federal agents, ahead of his first court appearance this morning at the U.S. District Court in Manhattan.
Senator John Fetterman commented on Maduro’s capture, saying he didn’t understand why it couldn’t simply be acknowledged as a positive outcome.
“I think we should recognize that what happened was a good thing and genuinely appreciate what took place,” Fetterman said.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said any Gaza stabilization mission would depend on Turkey’s participation, arguing that no framework excluding Ankara would earn the trust of the Palestinian people.
“Any mechanism without Turkey would struggle to gain the confidence of Palestinians. We are ready to assume any responsibility needed for lasting peace in Gaza,” Erdoğan told Bloomberg ahead of an expected call with President Trump.
One person has been taken into custody after several windows were broken early this morning at the Cincinnati, Ohio home of Vice President JD Vance.
According to the U.S. Secret Service, agents assigned to Vance’s protective detail detained a man on the property shortly after midnight Monday after the damage was discovered and turned him over to the Cincinnati Police Department. Vance and his family were not at the residence and were not in Ohio at the time of the incident.
