‘Maduro mocked USA, then he found out…’: Pete Hegseth’s chilling warning to world leaders

The United States Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, praised the military operation on Monday that led to the capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro. He described it as "the most sophisticated raid in the history of the planet" and highlighted the crucial involvement of President Donald Trump. "I remember when Nicolás Maduro mocked us by saying, 'Here I am, come and get me.' Well, he found out the hard way," stated Hegseth during his visit to Cape Canaveral, Florida, as part of his "Arsenal of Freedom" tour. The official emphasized that "no other president before Trump would have had the courage to make that call," underscoring the U.S. president's leadership in the military operation that ended the Chavista regime in Venezuela.
