BBC "I'm a prisoner of war" reads the headline on the front page of The Daily Telegraph. — The Daily Telegraph, and many of today’s papers, leads with deposed Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his words in a New York courtroom: “I’m a prisoner of war”.

The Times reports that as Maduro was making a “defiant” appearance in court, 2000 miles away his former deputy Delcy Rodríguez was being sworn in to replace him. At an emergency meeting of the UN security council, US ambassador Mike Waltz described the forceful removal of Maduro as a “surgical law enforcement operation”.

At an emergency meeting of the UN security council, US ambassador Mike Waltz described the forceful removal of Maduro as a “surgical law enforcement operation”.

The Guardian also leads on Maduro’s court appearance, highlighting its “brevity and formality” at “barely 30 minutes”. This “belied the far-reaching consequences of the US action,” it says. Also, following Trump’s comments that the US needs Greenland, the papers carries Denmark’s warning that any US attack on the vast Arctic island would end Nato.

A snap of Maduro hunched over and handcuffed alongside his wife Cilia Flores leads the Financial Times. Shares in US energy companies have surged meaning “investors profit” as he faces court, the FT says.

After the “swoop on Maduro”, the Metro asks “who’s next?” It says world leaders have “warned Donald Trump to keep his hands off their countries”. A photo of the US president speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One is captioned: “chuffed”.

The Daily Mail leads with the Danish warning that a “Greenland raid will finish Nato.” It is “America’s new world order”, the paper says, splashing a photo of Maduro “shackled”. Trump has “hinted” Greenland could be “next on his hit list”, it writes. But in a “rare break with Washington”, British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said he stood with Denmark.
