‘America on the warpath’ and ‘Trump to run Venezuela’


The headline on the front page of the Mail on Sunday reads: "Trump: Now I'm running Venezuela".

The US’s capture of Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro and large-scale strikes on the South American country dominate Sunday’s papers. “America on the warpath” is the Mail on Sunday’s lead as it splashes its front page with the image of a blindfolded and shackled Maduro after his arrest by US special forces shared by Donald Trump.

The headline on the front page of the Sunday Telegraph reads: "Trump to run Venezuela".

The Sunday Telegraph follows with Trump’s comments that the US will “run” Venezuela after Maduro’s capture. The US president held a press conference at Mar-a-Lago and told reporters “We’re going to run the country right” and “It’s going to make a lot of money”.

The headline on the front page of the Sunday Times reads: "We'll run Venezuela, vows US after capture of Maduro."

The Sunday Times also uses Trump’s line that the US will “run Venezuela”, but goes further, with a quote from the US president describing the “unprecedented military action” as something “people have not seen since World War Two”.

The headline on the front page of the Observer reads: "America's captive".

Maduro’s picture aboard the USS Iwo Jima also echoes on the Observer’s front page, alongside the headline “America’s captive”.

The headline on the front page of the Sunday Mirror reads: "US special forces capture Maduro".

The Sunday Mirror features comments from a defence expert who says, “The US has acted illegally” in its attack on Venezuela and seizure of Maduro. The Venezuelan leader and his wife will now be taken to New York and face trial on drug and weapons charges, the paper reports.

The headline on the front page of the Sun reads: "Nicked".

“Nicked” says the Sun as it features side-by-side pictures of the captured Maduro and explosions seen in Venezuela’s capital of Caracas.

The headline on the front page of the Sunday Express reads: "Captured!"

The Sunday Express focuses on Trump’s praise of the “brilliant operation” in Venezuela, saying “air, land and sea was used” for an attack “people have not seen since World War Two”.

The headline on the front page of the Independent reads: "Trump captures Maduro and vows to run Venezuela."

The Independent uses the same image that appears across most of Sunday’s papers, and includes Sir Keir Starmer’s comments that the UK was not involved in Saturday’s large-scale strikes on Venezuela.

The headline on the front page of the Daily Star reads: "Peace loving Trump attacks Venezuela".

“Peace loving Trump attacks Venezuela” is the Daily Star’s lead. The paper asks whether Fifa will take back the inaugural peace prize it awarded the US leader in December.
