Maduro Arrested: Secret China Meeting Triggered Trump's "Surgical Strike"

• US arrested Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in a "surgical strike" after days of threats from Trump.
• Just hours before the attack, Maduro held a secret 3-hour meeting with Chinese envoy Qiu Xiaoqi.
• This meeting, seen as China's entry into America's 'backyard', reportedly infuriated Trump, leading to the arrest order.
• China is Venezuela's key "energy partner," buying 650,000 barrels of oil daily and investing billions to support Maduro.
• The US fears losing its dominance in Latin America due to China's growing influence and ties with Venezuela.

Why It Matters: Maduro's arrest was directly linked to his secret meeting with a Chinese envoy, escalating US-China tensions.
