Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela’s president, said he has detained two American “mercenaries” allegedly involved in a murky operation intended to infiltrate Venezuela and overthrow him. Mr Maduro appeared on state television on Monday night to show off the seized passports of Luke Denman, 34, and Airan Berry, 41, accusing them of being US security forces. "The United States government is fully and completely involved in this defeated raid," he said. The pair, both former Green Berets, were arrested while eight Venezuelan army defectors with them were killed after the government foiled an "invasion" from the sea. President Donald Trump was forced to deny any involvement in the failed plot.
