美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周五访问了北卡罗来纳州布拉格堡，表彰美国特种部队及其家属在1月份那次备受瞩目的军事行动中发挥的作用，此次行动导致委内瑞拉领导人尼古拉斯·马杜罗及其妻子西莉亚·弗洛雷斯被抓获。
“我面前有一群了不起的人，我为你们感到无比自豪，”总统在基地对军事人员和家属发表讲话时表示，“在我的生命中，没有比成为你们的总司令更高的荣誉了。”
他还称赞了共和党全国委员会（RNC）前主席迈克尔·惠特利（Michael Whatley），后者正在北卡罗来纳州竞选参议院席位。“如果他当选，你们就会得到妥善照顾。如果他没当选，我们的军队就会像民主党人一贯做的那样被削减。”
他还表示，如果民主党人在中期选举中获得控制权，他们会像拜登政府时期那样再次将布拉格堡的名称改回“自由堡”。
“我们很快就改回来了，但他们又改了回去。如果我们在中期选举中失利，他们还会再次改回去，一次又一次。你们不能让这种事情发生。”
特朗普继续说道：“如果民主党人上台，我们的军队将得不到应有的服务。但在我的第一任期内我们重建了它，现在我们正在使其比以往任何时候都更强大、更庞大、更好。征兵人数激增。”
第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普也陪同特朗普出席了此次访问，她在基地参观期间还与军人家属进行了交流。布拉格堡是美国陆军特种作战部队最大的驻地之一。
特朗普在访问前发布的社交媒体帖子中强调了他所谓的美国与委内瑞拉临时政府之间的“非凡”关系，包括在石油收入和过渡计划方面的合作。
在马杜罗戏剧性被抓后，其副总统德尔西·罗德里格斯接管了委内瑞拉的领导权。
罗德里格斯公开坚称马杜罗和西莉亚·弗洛雷斯“是无辜的”，并否认导致他们被捕的所谓不当行为指控。尽管她与马杜罗立场一致，但美国坚持称其能够对她的领导施加影响。
1月底，美国与临时政府罗德里格斯签署了一项大规模能源协议。美国已经开始销售委内瑞拉原油，收益流入美国控制的账户，由美国政府酌情分配。
近200名美军参与了此次代号为“绝对决心行动”（Operation Absolute Resolve）的行动，其中7人受伤。
委内瑞拉国防部称，在这次行动中，包括委内瑞拉安全部队和32名古巴安全人员在内的83人死亡。
北卡罗来纳州布拉格堡还驻扎着可能在中东外交努力受挫时部署的部队，包括特朗普推动伊朗达成协议或面临他警告可能发生的“非常痛苦”后果的行动。此次访问正值美国向该地区部署第二艘航空母舰“福特号”（USS Ford），而谈判仍在继续。
五角大楼尚未透露此次行动涉及哪些军事单位。
特朗普多次称赞此次抓捕马杜罗行动是“壮观”的，展示了美国在自家后院展示主导地位的能力。他称参与行动的特种部队成员是“一群才华横溢、热爱祖国的不可思议的爱国者。你们无法阻挡他们。”
总统还暗示了他所谓的行动中使用的“混乱器”（discombobulator）这一秘密武器，称其用于瘫痪委内瑞拉的通讯和设备，并让人员失去方向感。
“我不能谈论它，”特朗普在接受全国广播公司新闻采访时表示，“但让我告诉你，它能做什么？它能让他们所有的设备都无法工作，就是这样。一切都变得混乱不堪。”
Trump honors special forces behind Maduro capture at Fort Bragg as global tensions escalate

President Donald Trump visited Fort Bragg, North Carolina, Friday to honor U.S. special forces and their families for their roles in the high-profile military operation that resulted in the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, in January.
“We have an amazing group of people before me, very proud of you,” the president said in an address to military personnel and families on base. “I have no higher honor in life than to be your commander in chief.”
He also praised Michael Whatley, former chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC) who’s running for Senate in North Carolina. “If he gets in, you’re going to be taken care of. If he doesn’t get in, we’re going to be stripped in the military like they always do, the Democrats.”
He also said if Democrats win control in the midterm elections they would change the Fort Bragg name back to Fort Liberty again, as President Joe Biden did during his administration.
“We got it back very quickly, but they took it off. And if we don’t win the midterms, they’ll take it off again and take it off again. You can’t let that happen.”
Trump went on: “Our military, if the Democrats get in, we’ll be simply early misserved. But we rebuilt it in my first term, and now we’re making it stronger and bigger and better than ever before. The recruiting is through the roof.”
Trump was joined by first lady Melania Trump, who also spent time with military families during the base visit — one of the largest home stations for U.S. Army special operations forces.
Trump’s social media posts ahead of the visit highlighted what he called “extraordinary” relations between the United States and Venezuela’s interim leadership, including cooperation on oil revenue and transition planning.
After the dramatic capture of Maduro, his vice president, Delcy Rodriguez, took over as Venezuela’s leader.
Rodríguez has publicly maintained that both Maduro and Cilia Flores are “innocent,” rejecting assertions of wrongdoing that led to their capture. Despite her alignment with Maduro, the U.S. has insisted it could assert influence over her leadership.
In late January, the U.S. and the interim Rodríguez government signed a massive energy pact. The U.S. has already begun marketing Venezuelan crude oil, with proceeds flowing into U.S.-controlled accounts to be disbursed at the discretion of the U.S. government.
Nearly 200 U.S. troops were involved in the Maduro operation, known as Operation Absolute Resolve. Seven were injured.
Venezuela’s defense ministry said 83 people were killed in the mission on its own side, including Venezuelan security forces and 32 Cuban security personnel.
Fort Bragg, North Carolina, is also home to units that could be deployed if diplomatic efforts in the Middle East falter, including Trump’s push for Iran to reach an agreement or face what he has warned could be a “very traumatic” outcome. The visit comes just as the U.S. deployed a second aircraft carrier, the USS Ford, to the region while talks continue.
The Pentagon has not revealed which military units were involved in the operation.
Trump has repeatedly hailed the Maduro capture as a “spectacular” operation that showed the U.S.’s capability to assert dominance in its own backyard. He called the special operators involved a “group of unbelievable talented patriotic people that love our country. You couldn’t hold them back.”
The president has also hinted at a secret weapon he calls the “discombobulator” used in the operation to disable Venezuelan communications and equipment and disorient personnel.
“I’m not allowed to talk about it,” Trump said in an interview with NBC News. “But let me just tell you, you know what it does? None of their equipment works, that’s what it does.
“Everything was discombobulated.”
