U.S. seizes Venezuelan president’s plane over alleged sanction violations

The U.S. seized a plane used by Venezuela’s leader, Nicolás Maduro, and flew it to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The jet was allegedly illegally purchased and taken out of the U.S. in violation of sanctions. The seizure comes as Venezuela is still reeling from disputed elections earlier this year.
