Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro has made his first court appearance after being captured by U.S. forces, defiantly telling a judge he is a “prisoner of war” and not guilty of the charges being pushed by the Trump administration.

Days after Donald Trump gave the green light to seize Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores from their presidential compound in Caracas, the ousted leader appeared in a Manhattan court on Monday, where he pleaded not guilty to federal charges of narco-terrorism, cocaine importation, and weapons possession.

He then told the judge he had been “kidnapped” and was “a prisoner of war.”

“I was captured at my home in Caracas, Venezuela,” he said through a translator.
