Bloomber revealed the amount spent by the United States on Maduro's capture

The United States has spent about $3 billion on its presence in the Caribbean and conducting its military operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Celia Flores. This was reported on Saturday, February 14, by Bloomberg, which carried out the corresponding calculations.

"The surge [of US President Donald Trump's activities] Trump's investment in the Caribbean region is currently approaching $3 billion," the article says.

It is specified that more than $ 20 million was spent daily on the maintenance of warships that were deployed by the American command off the coast of Latin America.

The text emphasized that representatives of the defense departments and the White House repeatedly noted that the costs of operations in Venezuela were covered by the already allocated budget, and also added that taxpayers' funds were allegedly not sent for this. However, according to the agency's analysis based on operating costs, ship tracking data, satellite photos, and public deployment announcements, the transfer of military equipment to Venezuela's shores "consumed billions of dollars and potentially limited U.S. power in other areas."

The American leader called his military's January 3 attack on Venezuela "the most flawless" and "brilliant" in the last 100 years. On January 10, one of the people guarding the Venezuelan president said that the US military used secret weapons during the operation to capture the Venezuelan leader and his wife. Later, on February 5, Trump revealed the name of the weapon used by the United States, which he invented himself. It is called, as the head of the White House clarified, "discombobulator."
