US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says America is not at war with Venezuela, a day after US strikes on the country
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, who were captured by the US, are set to appear in court on Monday, according to a spokesperson
Venezuela's Defence Minister Vladimir Padrino says a large part of Maduro's security team and "innocent civilians" were killed in the US operation
Venezuela has denounced the "military aggression", and the army says it backs interim President Delcy Rodríguez
This is important because it is a confirmation that - despite Donald Trump saying the US will now run the country - Maduro's allies are still in charge, writes our South America correspondent
Donald Trump tells The Atlantic that Rodríguez will "pay a big price" if she "does not do what is right". The president also told reporters aboard Air Force One that Venezuela was "our area" invoking the Monroe Doctrine

Earlier, we brought you some reactions from countries in Latin America. Here's a bit more of the response from the region:
Now that Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro has landed in New York, he will be flown by helicopter to the Westside Heliport in Manhattan and will be driven to the US Drug Enforcement Administration’s headquarters there for booking, according to US media reports.
From there, he will be taken to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he is expected to be held before facing drug and weapons charges in Manhattan federal court next week.
The notorious jail, commonly known as MDC, is known for handling many high-profile cases, including rapper R Kelly, Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, and, most recently, Sean "Diddy" Combs.

Elkin, who has lived in the US for nine years, tells me he was woken up by a friend in Venezuela late last night, who reported the strikes before it hit social media.
"This would not have happened without Donald Trump," he tells me in the distinctive Spanish of Venezuela, a broad smile on his face as he held a Venezuelan flag.
For now, Elkin is unconcerned by the transition of power, or Trump's earlier comment that the US will "run" Venezuela.
"The important thing now is that [Maduro and his wife] they are finished, they won't be able to come back," he says. "Trump did that."
Rosanna Matteo, a Venezuelan who has lived in the US since 2012, says she knew the US was "capable" of toppling Maduro – and Chavez before him - but never thought it would happen.
Matteo says she would often dream of waking up in the middle of the night to the news that Maduro had fallen.
"And last night my husband woke me up to tell me," she says.
While she is not worried about the transition, she says she wants one thing to be made clear to the Trump administration: many Venezuelans like her would be furious if, in the long-term, officials tied to the Maduro regime remain in place.
"We don't accept that, and we don't want it," she adds.

We can now bring you another image, this one shows several dozen people - who look like law enforcement officers - leading a figure dressed in grey across the tarmac.

It's dark out now, and difficult to make out the figures pictured, however, US TV networks have identified a person as Maduro.
The group went down the stairs of the plane, before making their way across the tarmac. There were several dozen people, and they appeared to be leading one figure.
We'll bring you more information when we get it.

Amid frigid temperatures, news crews are awaiting the plane that's expected to be carrying Maduro when it lands here at Stewart Air National Guard Base in New York state.
We're keeping across this, and will bring you an update when he lands. Stick with us.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer says the UK has "long supported a transition of power in Venezuela".
Starmer says in a post on X: "We regarded Maduro as an illegitimate President and we shed no tears about the end of his regime. I reiterated my support for international law this morning."
He adds that the UK government will discuss the "evolving situation with US counterparts" in the coming days and "seek a safe and peaceful transition to a legitimate government that reflects the will of the Venezuelan people".
Earlier, when asked if he would condemn the US operation in Venezuela, as a number of UK MPs have, Starmer said: "I want to establish the facts first. I want to speak to President Trump. I want to speak to allies. As I say, I can be absolutely clear we were not involved in that."

I'm in Doral, the heart of south Florida's Venezuelan expatriate population – affectionately known among many as "Doralzuela".
The mood here is, for lack of a better word, ecstatic. For about a mile, I was caught in a huge traffic jam behind a line of cars waving Venezuelan flags and Trump signs.
There is very little love for Maduro among many of these Venezuelan expats, some of whom fled Venezuela, either during Maduro's regime or that of his predecessor, Hugo Chavez.
The hub of the celebrations is a much beloved restaurant called El Arepazo, where since 05:00 this morning crowds have gathered after hearing the news.
There are currently several hundred people here – and many more trying to find parking – and it's extremely loud, with horns honking, music blaring and people chanting.
Image source, ReutersSecretary of State Marco Rubio says the US will make decisions based on the Venezuelan government's "actions and their deeds" over the coming days.
It follows Venezuelan Vice-President Delcy Rodriguez's comments earlier today, in which she denied she planned to work with the US following the capture of Maduro.
"We think they’re going to have some unique and historic opportunities to do a great service for the country, and we hope that they’ll accept that opportunity," he told the New York Times, referring to Venezuelan government officials.

I got the impression from Trump's earlier remarks that there isn’t much of a plan beyond a clear threat to the now de-facto leader, Vice-President Delcy Rodriguez, to comply with what he wants. And what he wants, he made clear, is US access to Venezuela’s oil fields.
This was couched in a pledge to release vast amounts of oil wealth for the people of Venezuela, but also for the US, and in Trump’s demand for “stability” in nations close to the US. He said Secretary of State Marco Rubio had spoken to Rodríguez, who was “gracious” and appeared to be compliant.
But Rodríguez appeared shortly afterwards to contradict this, saying in a televised address that Venezuela’s government was ready to defend the country and maintaining that Maduro was still in charge.
Trump was pressed on specifics, but stuck to his trademark ambiguity. Asked whether the US would send in US ground troops, he only said he wasn’t afraid of boots on the ground. And asked about opposition figure Maria Corina Machado, Trump said it would be hard for her to lead as she didn’t have popular “respect”.
That alone will signal to some in Venezuela, particularly Machado’s supporters, that Trump isn’t serious about shoring up Venezuela for a democratic or just future, but rather to plunder its oil wealth.
The United Nations Security Council says it will hold an emergency meeting on Monday about the US operation in Venezuela.
The attendees have not yet been confirmed, but may include the UN Secretary-General António Guterres.
Colombia requested the meeting with the support of Russia and China, both permanent members of the Security Council.

Nicolás Maduro, the Venezuelan leader, and his wife are being brought to New York to face what officials have called the wrath of US justice. A 25-page indictment charges the couple along with their son, two other politicians and an alleged cartel leader with running a violent cocaine trafficking empire for their own enrichment.
Maduro has always rejected the accusations as an excuse for regime change. And in an extraordinary development, Trump has said the US would now be in charge of Venezuela.
The US attack follows a months-long pressure campaign involving a vast and deadly military buildup in the Caribbean.
Trump has voiced varying motives, from ending Venezuelan drug trafficking – even though this makes up a relatively small part of the illicit regional trade – to taking back what he says are US oil rights in the country, which he doubled down on in his news conference.
He already faces a backlash from his Democratic opposition in Congress who saw the build up as unconstitutional, and a bullying campaign which risks destabilising the region.
Trump is celebrating deposing a dictator, in one of the biggest gambles for his second term foreign policy. While the US has a strong record in removing autocrats, it has a far weaker one in managing the aftermath.
Image source, Venezuela state televisionWe can bring you some more of Rodríguez's remarks, after she spoke on state television a few moments ago.
She condemns the "armed aggression against our country", and adds that the country's defence council has been "activated".
Further response from the government can be expected over the coming hours, she says.
"To our Venezuela, to our people: There is a clear government here," she says, adding that Venezuela is open to respectful and lawful dialogue.
More now from Venezuela's Vice-President Delcy Rodríguez.
She says the government is a ready "to defend" Venezuela, after Trump said the US will "run" the country.
Rodríguez also called for calm and unity.
Venezuela's Vice-President Delcy Rodríguez has been speaking on state television the last few minutes. She says Nicolás Maduro is Venezuela's only president.
"There is only one president in Venezuela, and his name is Nicolás Maduro," she says.
It comes after US President Donald Trump earlier said she was the country's new leader, after Maduro was captured by US forces overnight.
Here's what some European leaders are saying about the US action in Venezuela.
