North Korea has strongly criticized the US military strike that led to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, labeling it as a severe violation of sovereignty. The North’s Foreign Ministry condemned the action following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of Maduro’s capture in a significant military operation.
The capture of Maduro follows a prolonged pressure campaign by the Trump administration against the Venezuelan leader, aimed at reasserting American influence in the Western Hemisphere and combating drug-trafficking cartels. Critics have raised concerns over the lack of congressional authorization for the operation, warning of potential escalation of regional tensions.
In response to the incident, North Korea’s Foreign Ministry denounced the US as a rogue and brutal actor, urging the international community to recognize the gravity of the situation in Venezuela and protest against the US’s repeated violations of other countries’ sovereignty. Maduro is reported to have been detained in a federal jail in New York after being apprehended by US forces at a military base in Venezuela.
