As a result of what happened, interest in this model of the tracksuit sharply increased, and within two days the request metrics reached a peak, with some of them receiving a score of 100 on the popularity index. Some sizes of this model, including 3XL, in which Maduro was captured, are already unavailable on the official Nike website — it sold out in just an hour.

The cost of the complete set (hoodie and pants) is $270: $145 for the hoodie and $125 for the joggers.

Meanwhile, discussions about the consequences of Maduro's abduction continue in international politics.

According to The Financial Times, changes in the regime in Venezuela could have global consequences. The announced "Donro doctrine" combined with Trump's actions towards rapprochement with Russia and China indicates his preference for a world order based on the spheres of influence of major powers.

Both countries, Russia and China, condemned the overthrow of Maduro. However, there is an opinion that Xi Jinping might consider sacrificing Chinese influence in Venezuela in exchange for greater freedom of action regarding Taiwan, similar to how Russia might strike a deal over Ukraine.

Meanwhile, the authorities in Caracas have intensified repression, as evidenced by data from the National Union of Press Workers of Venezuela, which reports that 14 journalists have been detained, including representatives of foreign media. The arrests occurred near the National Assembly, where Delcy Rodriguez took the oath as interim president.

Human rights organizations report checks of citizens' mobile phones and the mobilization of armed groups known as colectivos, as well as checkpoints established around the capital.

Cuba, previously dependent on Venezuelan oil, is now seeking alternative sources in Mexico and Russia. Chinese independent refineries, which previously purchased Venezuelan oil at reduced prices, are facing bankruptcy threats, and state-owned oil companies in China may cut back their operations.

For its part, the U.S. is actively encouraging major oil companies to return to Venezuela. Experts believe that in the short term, production is unlikely to reach the levels seen in the late 2010s (2.5-3 million barrels per day).

President Donald Trump expressed readiness to send additional American troops to Venezuela if the interim president does not engage with the U.S.

In an interview with NBC News, Trump noted that he does not rule out the possibility of starting a new military operation in Venezuela, but emphasized that the United States is not at war with this country.
