    Maduro was wanted in the US for a host of alleged crimes

    IN THE US. Not in Venezuela. Why do USians think their laws apply outside the country?

      To my knowledge, Bin Laden wasn’t charged with any crimes in Pakistan.

      Why do USians think their laws apply outside the country?

      Because they know they have the power to project law enforcement actions over national boundaries.
