The couple appeared in a US federal court more than six months after being captured during a US military operation. Maduro and Flores have pleaded not guilty to federal drug trafficking and firearms charges. The defense is expected to challenge the legality of their capture and argue claims related to immunity from prosecution.

The case has sparked strong reactions, with supporters of Maduro demanding his release while opponents accuse him of dictatorship and supporting criminal activities. Watch the latest updates on Maduro's US trial, Venezuela politics, international law, and global affairs.
