Former Vice President Mike Pence offered praise to the Trump administration’s detention of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Saturday, saying President Donald Trump ended Maduro’s “tyranny.”

The U.S. military captured Maduro early Saturday morning, and the former Venezuelan leader arrived at the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York City later in the day. Pence, a critic of Trump following his first term in office, commended the U.S. president’s “decisive leadership” and the “courage” of the U.S. armed forces who brought an end to Maduro’s “socialist dictatorship.”
