Argentina seeks Maduro's arrest for crimes vs humanity

BUENOS AIRES — Courts in Argentina and Venezuela issued warrants for the arrests of each other's presidents on Monday amid a showdown between 'anarcho-capitalist' leader Javier Milei and socialist strongman Nicolas Maduro.

Venezuela issued its warrant for Argentina's Milei over what it called the 'theft' of a Venezuelan plane seized in Buenos Aires for alleged sanctions violations.
