military has been expanding its presence in the Caribbean over the last few months.

But what does it mean to capture a world leader?

And when has it happened before?

It comes after months of escalating U.S.

pressure, sending troops and warships to the Caribbean.

NPR's South America correspondent Carrie Khan joins us now from Rio de Janeiro.

Good morning, Carrie.

Good morning.

So President Trump said in a social media post that Maduro and his wife are in U.S.

custody.

What else do we know?

Kerry, can we just start from early this morning, around 2 a.m.

local time?

What happened there?

Well, it's incredible to hear that eyewitness account from someone who lives right near the airport.

What do we know about the targets that were hit?

And so tell us more about what reaction has been around the region in Latin America and around the world.

Carrie, briefly, what are you going to be looking for as the hours unfold and the days unfold ahead?

And we will be coming back to you frequently.

Thank you so much.
