Eighty-three individuals perished in the course of that operation, and demonstrations in support of Maduro continue to occur throughout Venezuela.
The U.S. held private consultations with the Venezuelan Interior Minister, Diosdado Cabello, several months preceding the military action orchestrated by the United States President, Donald Trump, which intended to secure the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

As outlined in the report, Cabello managed to evade capture during this operation. Venezuela’s Defense Minister, Vladimir Padrino López, previously stated that 83 fatalities resulted from the American intervention.
