US EditionWorld leaders react to the U.S. attack on Venezuela
U.S. forces detained Maduro on drug and weapons charges; the operation sparked widespread international calls for de-escalation and respect for sovereignty, amid protests and legal actions.
- On Saturday, U.S. forces struck Venezuela and captured Nicolás Maduro, who was indicted by a New York federal grand jury, then took him aboard a U.S. warship bound for New York.
- After months of pressure and strikes, the Trump administration cited a New York federal grand jury indictment on narco-terror charges against Nicolás Maduro as central to holding him accountable for drug trafficking, including fentanyl blamed for U.S. deaths.
- Lawmakers reacted sharply, with U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., calling the actions `unconstitutional` and U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., accusing the administration of regime change.
- A protest is set for 2 p.m. at Centennial Park, and the Party for Socialism and Liberation announced an emergency protest while Rep. Tim Burchett thanked President Trump and service members.
- Supporters who praised the action called it momentous, but U.S. Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., warned that Russia and China might exploit it, writing `Freedom and rule of law were defended last night, but dictators will try to exploit this to rationalize their selfish objectives`.
