Security Council has called an emergency meeting after U.S. forces struck sites in Venezuela early Saturday, capturing President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro and his wife, Cilia. The session, set for Monday at 10 a.m. Eastern, was requested by Colombian President Gustavo Petro, who labeled the attack an &#8220;aggression against the sovereignty of Venezuela and Latin America&#8221; and said it likely violated international law. China and Russia, both permanent council members and allies of Venezuela, are reported to back Petro&#8217;s plea; the U.S., France, and the U.K. are also permanent members, with ten other nonpermanent members joining them. The U.S.-authorized operation lasted under an hour, included seven strikes on Caracas, resulted in no U.S. service-member deaths, and led to Maduro&#8217;s capture. U.S. officials say Maduro will be brought to New York to face drug-trafficking charges, and President Trump indicated the U.S. will temporarily oversee Venezuela during the transition.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">UN Security Council to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/north-korea-says-it-launched-ballistic-missile-from-submarine-u-n-security-council-to-hold-emergency-meeting\/\" title=\"North Korea Says It Launched Ballistic Missile From Submarine, U.N. ...
