Some people believe they have worked out the reason that spurred Donald Trump into action ahead of the strike in Venezuela over the weekend, capturing President Nicolas Maduro.
As previously reported, in the early hours of Saturday morning, the U.S. military pulled off a months‑in‑the‑making operation to capture the Venezuelan leader.
President Trump said in a press conference that elite Army Delta Force commandos moved in and captured Maduro at his steel‑reinforced hideout in Caracas, stopping the Venezuelan leader before he could secure himself in what was meant to be an impregnable safe room.
Speaking in a press conference, Trump outlined the reasons for the US strike, claiming a multitude of reasons, including to help secure the US, free the population of Venezuela from Maduro's control, and to maximise the oil potential of the country.
However, another theory has come about - that Trump finally made the move to stop Maduro from mocking his dance moves.
According to reports from the Daily Mail, sources claimed Maduro's nonchalance was taken as mocking Trump.
In recent weeks, the former Venezuelan president was filmed singing and dancing, with his flippant attitude being taken as an attempt to call Trump's bluff.
Maduro was seen executing moves similar to Trump's fist-pumping dance during the opening of the International School for Women's Leadership in December, when Maduro moved to an electronic remix of his own speech, 'No War, Yes Peace', which begs for peace between the two countries.
In November, he sang John Lennon's song 'Imagine', adding to the crowd: "Do everything for peace, as John Lennon used to say, right? It is an inspiration for all times. It is an anthem for all eras and generations, left by John Lennon as a gift to humanity."
Maduro's nonchalant behavior appeared to continue after his capture, as he was seen giving thumbs up in photos with US agents, as well as wishing them a "happy new year" in video footage released by the White House.
Trump also confirmed that the US would "run" Venezuela in the interim between Maduro's capture until a transfer of power could be completed to a new leader.
Venezuela's acting president Delcy Rodriguez shared a statement after the capture, calling for "peace and dialogue, not war".
Rodriguez said: "We prioritise moving towards balanced and respectful international relations between the United States and Venezuela.
"President Donald Trump, our peoples and our region deserve peace and dialogue, not war. This has always been President Nicolás Maduro's message, and it is the message of all of Venezuela right now."
Maduro and his wife, Celia Flores, are now being held at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center.
