04.01.2026 ⇢ The Day of the Maduro Extradition
⌨On January 4, Japanese editorial priority focused exclusively on the aftermath of the U.S. military strike in Venezuela. Morning and afternoon headlines tracked the transfer of the detained President Maduro to a detention center in Brooklyn, New York. Major outlets including Asahi and Nikkei highlighted President Trump’s declaration that the U.S. will 'operate' Venezuela until a transition occurs, specifically noting the immediate entry of American oil firms into the country's reserves. By late afternoon, analysis shifted toward the technical precision of the operation, with Yomiuri detailing the use of 150 aircraft and the failure of Russian-made defense systems.
In the evening, the focus expanded to regional security as editors prioritized North Korea’s launch of multiple ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan. NHK and TBS monitored the projectiles, which fell outside Japan's exclusive economic zone, while Sankei framed the earlier Venezuela strike as a potential 'deterrent' against Chinese ambitions regarding Taiwan.
