Trump said that they are aboard a US warship. Fox reported that the duo will reach New York on Monday.Earlier today, Trump confirmed that US carried out a “large-scale” strike on the Venezuelan capital and subsequently captured Maduro and his wife.US Attorney General Pam Bondi said the pair would face charges in New York, adding they would “soon face the full wrath of American justice”.
