Ousted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is set to appear in Manhattan federal court on Monday to face narco-terrorism charges, days after his capture by the U.S. military sparked deep uncertainty about the oil-rich South American nation’s future.

In his celebratory news conference on the U.S. capture of Venezuelan strongman leader Nicolás Maduro, President Donald Trump set out an extraordinarily forthright view of the use of U.S. power in Latin America that exposed political divisions from Mexico to Argentina as Trump-friendly leaders rise across the region.

Some have compared the daring and scope of the Nicolás Maduro capture to the killing of Osama bin Laden in 2011.

President Donald Trump approved the strike before Christmas after months of planning, including troops training using a model of Maduro’s compound.

Over three decades ago, the US government executed the shocking arrest of the leader of a foreign country: Panama’s Manuel Noriega. The dictator’s case may prove to be a guide for the prosecutors, defense attorneys and judges now involved in the case against Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro.

Roger Carstens, told CBS' "60 Minutes" that he doesn't consider Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro a "bloodthirsty drug dealer" based on his experiences.

When Nicolás Maduro appears in a New York courtroom to face U.S. drug charges, he'll be following a path taken by Panama's Manuel Noriega, another strongman who was toppled by American forces.
