Detained Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro spoke his first words since his capture as he was brought to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) office in New York late Saturday local time.
As Maduro was escorted into the office, cameras caught the Venezuelan president saying: “Good night! Happy New Year.”
Images of Maduro being flown to New York showed the Venezuelan president giving a thumbs up.
The Venezuelan president and his wife Cilia Flores were earlier captured from Caracas after US President Donald Trump unilaterally authorized a military operation on Venezuelan soil.
After his capture, Maduro and his wife were flown to the US and subsequently flown to New York, where they were imprisoned, following their indictment for alleged drug trafficking and narco-terrorism.
