Venezuela's Maduro condemns 'piracy' after US seizes his 'smuggled' plane

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said the United States "engaged in a criminal practice" after it seized Maduro's plane in the Dominican Republic on Monday, alleging that it was "illegally purchased" through a shell company. The move follows widespread condemnation of Maduro's highly scrutinised reelection in late July, including US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken saying it was "clear" opposition candidate Edmundo González won South American country's presidential election.
