From Global News.

The aftermath of a deadly U.S. military raid on Venezuela’s capital early Saturday morning is now coming into focus. U.S. forces captured President Nicolas Maduro, who is now in U.S. custody facing drug smuggling charges. President Donald Trump insists his administration will run the country for now. This stance has sparked controversy and accusations that the U.S. is violating international law. Candice Cole has the top story.

There are growing concerns that America’s actions in Venezuela signal a major shift in U.S. foreign policy. Critics worry the Trump administration is prioritizing its own interests over international norms, while legal experts question the legality of the forced removal of a foreign leader. Heidi Petracek reports.

The U.S. Supreme Court is preparing to hear more than a dozen cases this year that could test the limits of President Donald Trump’s authority. Jackson Proskow looks at the legal battles that lie ahead for the Trump administration.

Plus, hundreds of thousands of Canadian forestry workers are hoping for quick government action to save their struggling industry.
