Exclusive: US seizes Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro's airplane in the Dominican Republic

US authorities have seized a plane belonging to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in the Dominican Republic, according to exclusive information obtained by our intelligence service.

The plane, a Boeing 747-400, was seized on Wednesday, June 29, at Las Americas International Airport in Santo Domingo.

The seizure is part of a broader US effort to pressure Maduro to step down from power. Maduro has been in power since 2013, and his government has been accused of human rights abuses and corruption.

The US has imposed sanctions on Maduro and his government, and has also been working to isolate Venezuela from the international community.

The seizure of the plane is a significant escalation of US pressure on Maduro. It is also a sign that the US is increasingly willing to take direct action against Maduro and his government.

The plane is owned by the Venezuelan government, but it is not clear if Maduro was on board at the time of the seizure.

The US government has not yet commented on the seizure of the plane.

The seizure of Maduro's plane is a reminder of the ongoing political and economic crisis in Venezuela.

The country has been plagued by hyperinflation, shortages of food and medicine, and widespread poverty.

The US is one of several countries that have been calling for Maduro to step down from power.

The US has also been working to provide humanitarian assistance to Venezuela.
