The Washington Post editorial board praised President Donald Trump<\/a>‘s military operation in Venezuela as an “unquestionable tactical success” in an editorial<\/a> Saturday.<\/p>\n

“President Donald Trump\u2019s decision to capture [Maduro] on Saturday is one of the boldest moves a president has made in years, and the operation was an unquestionable tactical success,” the board wrote.<\/p>\n

The editorial was titled, “Justice in Venezuela.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The next step is ensuring that this triumph sets Venezuela up for stability rather than chaos,” the piece continued.<\/p>\n

The editorial board noted the success proved America’s military and intelligence capabilities remain “second to none,” adding, “This is a major victory for American interests\u2026<\/p>\n

“Maduro\u2019s removal also sends an important message to tinpot dictators in Latin America and the world: Trump follows through,” the board wrote. “President Joe Biden<\/a> offered sanctions relief to Venezuela, and Maduro responded to that show of weakness by stealing an election.”<\/p>\n

The paper assessed, “Trump offered Maduro several off-ramps. He could have retired and lived a luxury lifestyle in Moscow or Minsk. Instead, he will probably die in prison. It\u2019s an all-time miscalculation.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The editorial board discussed the potential outcomes that could arise from the leadership gap and the legal questions surrounding the president’s actions without seeking congressional approval.<\/p>\n

“There are also legitimate legal questions about the operation, though Maduro was viewed as a criminal by both Trump and Biden, who raised the reward to $25 million for information leading to his arrest,” the board wrote.<\/p>\n

“Sen. Mike Lee said Secretary of State Marco Rubio called him Saturday to say that Trump had the right to act as commander-in-chief. No doubt this debate will continue, and it\u2019s good for democratic hygiene to scrutinize the decision.”<\/p>\n

By contrast, The New York Times editorial board<\/a> criticized the operation as “illegal and unwise” in a Saturday piece.<\/p>\n

“Mr. Trump has not yet offered a coherent explanation for his actions in Venezuela. He is pushing our country toward an international crisis without valid reasons,” the outlet wrote.<\/p>\n

“If Mr. Trump wants to argue otherwise, the Constitution spells out what he must do: Go to Congress. Without congressional approval, his actions violate U.S. law.”<\/p>\n

The White House<\/a> did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.<\/p>\n

U.S. military forces launched a large-scale military operation in Caracas, Venezuela<\/a>, early Saturday, with special forces seizing President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro and his wife in the process.<\/p>\n

There is a pending 2020 indictment of Maduro in the Southern District of New York, where he is expected to be taken to face prosecution.<\/p>\n

The move largely drew backing from Republican lawmakers<\/a> but scrutiny from Democrats.<\/p>\n
