The United States took control of Venezuela. This happened after a military action. US soldiers caught President Nicolas Maduro. They also caught his wife, Cilia Flores. President Donald Trump told people about it. He said the US will lead Venezuela for a little while. This is because of election problems. Trump said Maduro ran a bad country.
US soldiers used planes in the action. They caught the leader of Venezuela. Trump said the action was strong. The US said Maduro's government hurt freedom. They said he changed the last election results. But Maduro said this is not true. He thinks the US wants Venezuela's oil.
This action is against China. China buys much oil from Venezuela. The US also stopped more oil from leaving. They are stopping oil ships. These actions will hurt China's oil. They will also make things hard for Chinese companies.
Venezuela is now confused. Maduro and his wife are with the US. The leader's helper is not found. This could be a problem for who leads. The European Union is watching. They want to keep EU people safe. One country asked for peace.
Oil prices changed because of this. Oil prices went up. Taking oil from Venezuela is more risky. Chinese companies must find new oil. This will cost them more money. We do not know what will happen to oil prices.
