Decoding Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro's post-arrest, blindfolded image shared by Trump

The United States managed to successfully capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, along with his wife, during a nighttime raid on the Latin American country's capital, Caracas.

President Trump announced the development in a post on Truth Social and later went on to share a picture of blindfolded Maduro under US arrest on USS Iwo Jima under US custody.

The image, owing to its sheer impact, showing a country's president under custody, has since been widely circulated by the netizens and news outlets worldwide.

However, one might not help but look closely and get a rather more intriguing understanding of the image shared by President Trump via analysing the intricate nuances reflected in it.

CNN analyst John Miller, while breaking down the now-famous picture, said that the Venezuelan president was handcuffed, "wearing blackout goggles to prevent him fom seeing where's he's moving from point A to point B". This is a rather common practice often adopted by law enforcement agencies to diminish an arrestee's awareness of his surroundings.

Miller then goes on to describe the dark grey vest around Maduro's neck, saying that it was an inflatable life vest which a person generally wears on an aircraft of a boat — in case of an emergency, to avoid drowning.

This is relevant as the Venezuelan president, after his capture from Caracas by US forces, was brought to USS Iwo Jima, an amphibious assault ship deployed in the Caribbean.

"You see a couple of chem strips that glow in the dark. That's the kind of thing that they give to people on board various aircraft [...] to make sure if it goes down or they go in the water they can be inflated by pulling the tabs, and those things glow in the dark," remarked Miller.

Furthermore, the analyst pointed out the headphones worn by Maduro, which, as per him, were "meant to obstruct his hearing so he can’t hear the conversations around him".

Lastly, he brought attention to the background of the image, where he said that the back of a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent's raid jacket withthe authority's acronym visible on it.

"This means he is under arrest by US federal law enforcement authorities," he noted.

Miller's assessment seems to be backed by the fact that Maduro, since his capture, has been shifted to New York and is set to be arraigned on drug trafficking and weapons charges along with his wife.

The Venezuelan president is currently imprisoned in a New York jail awaiting the progression of the legal process against him.
