To ensure clarity and consistency in our reporting, please follow these guidelines when describing the recent events in Venezuela:
* “Captured” — Please attribute this to the U.S. description of the operation. Example: “The U.S. said Maduro was captured during the operation.”
* “Seized” — Acceptable for use in our own reporting where appropriate.
* Avoid using “Kidnapped.”
