Starlink provides free internet to Venezuela following US arrest of Nicolás Maduro

Maduro faces federal narco-terrorism and cocaine conspiracy charges after being transported to New York

By Greg Wehner FOXBusiness

Starlink said Sunday it is offering free broadband internet service in Venezuela through Feb. 3, citing efforts to maintain connectivity after U.S. forces arrested President Nicolás Maduro during a military operation.

The satellite internet provider announced the move in a post on X that was also shared by company owner Elon Musk, who has increasingly positioned Starlink as a communications lifeline during crises.

"In support of the people of Venezuela," Elon Musk wrote.

The announcement came one day after U.S. forces carried out a military operation in Venezuela that resulted in the arrest of Maduro, according to U.S. officials, marking a dramatic escalation in tensions involving the longtime Venezuelan leader.
