US Topples Maduro: Trump Warns Interim Leader Delcy Rodriguez, India Eyes $1 Billion Oil Dues Recovery

In a major geopolitical development, the United States has removed Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, placing him in US custody. Reporting from Washington, India Today's Rohit Sharma details the operation, which US Secretary of State Marco Rubio described not as an invasion but as a 'law enforcement operation'. President Donald Trump has warned interim president Delcy Rodriguez to align with US interests. The report highlights the significant implications for India, which could now recover $1 billion in unpaid dues and resume operations in Venezuelan oil fields, thereby reducing dependence on Russian and West Asian crude.
