"We are well, firm and calm." Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said in a social media post on Saturday.

In the post, he called for strengthening peace, unity and reconciliation.

On Jan. 3, U.S. military forces launched a large-scale operation against Venezuela and forcibly seized Maduro and his wife before transporting them to New York.

On Jan. 5, Maduro made his first court appearance in New York, where he pleaded not guilty to all U.S. charges against him.

Maduro appeared again before the same court on Thursday, where the judge denied his motion to dismiss the case.
