WASHINGTON -- US President Donald Trump said Saturday that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were taken to a ship after being captured by US forces and will be transported to New York.

Trump told Fox News that the pair have been indicted in New York and will be transferred to the state.

He said he watched the overnight operation that led to their capture, which was "literally like I was watching a television show."

Maduro was "in a house that was more like a fortress than a house" with "solid steel all around" when captured, said Trump.

Trump did not rule out the possibility of a second strike against Venezuela following Maduro's capture.
