WASHINGTON, March 26 (Xinhua) — US President Donald Trump on Thursday reiterated the four-to-six-week timeframe for war with Iran that he says he outlined at the outset of the conflict, which is now in its fourth week with no clear sign of ending.

New York, March 26 (Xinhua) — Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro appeared in court in New York on Thursday morning. This was his second appearance since he was captured by U.S. forces during an operation in Caracas in early January.

Protesters gathered outside the courthouse, which was heavily guarded by law enforcement officers, shouting slogans and demanding the immediate release of N. Maduro.

During the first court hearing on January 5, where N. Maduro was charged, he declared his innocence on all charges brought by the US, including drug trafficking, and told the court that he was “kidnapped” from his residence in Caracas and remains the president of Venezuela.

Maduro's lawyer is expected to continue to press the judge to dismiss the charges and argue that the United States is violating the Venezuelan president's constitutional rights by blocking the use of Venezuelan government funds to pay legal costs.
