🇺🇸 Will US Ever Order Putin's Capture? What "Very Disappointed" #TRUMP Answered
One week after a dramatic US operation in Venezuela, questions are rising over whether a similar move could ever target Russian President Vladimir Putin. US President Donald Trump, however, has firmly played down the possibility—despite saying he is “very disappointed” with Putin.
⚡ Backdrop: Maduro’s Arrest
Last week, former Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro was captured in a surprise US military raid in Caracas and flown to New York. The bold operation stunned the world and emboldened Washington’s allies.
🇺🇦 Zelensky’s Hint
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a cryptic remark suggesting that if dictators must be dealt with forcefully, “the United States knows what to do next”—a comment widely interpreted as a reference to Putin.
🗣️ Trump Pushes Back
Asked whether the US could ever order Putin’s capture, Trump replied,
“I don’t think it’s going to be necessary.”
He added that he had expected the Ukraine conflict to be easier to resolve and expressed regret over the continued loss of life, especially among soldiers.
⚖️ Legal Shadow Over Putin
Putin currently faces an International Criminal Court arrest warrant over alleged war crimes in Ukraine, though Russia does not recognise the ICC’s authority.
📉 War Fatigue & Economic Strain
Trump noted heavy battlefield casualties and claimed Russia’s economy is under pressure, expressing hope that the conflict could still be settled diplomatically.
🛢️ Aftermath in Venezuela
Following Maduro’s capture, Delcy Rodríguez has assumed leadership in Venezuela, while the US moves to tighten control over the country’s oil exports.
🔎 Bottom Line
Despite aggressive recent actions, Trump signalled restraint toward Russia—suggesting pressure, not capture, remains Washington’s preferred path.
