"the most significant U.S. intervention in the region since the 1989 invasion of Panama. President Gustavo Petro in neighboring Colombia, announced that security forces were deployed along the border to prepare for a possible refugee influx. Colombia hosts the largest Venezuelan diaspora. Petro confirmed multiple strikes in Caracas, including a military airbase, other installations, and the legislative building. He condemned the attack as an aggression against Venezuela and Latin America, urging de-escalation."
"Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva condemned the U.S. attack on neighboring Venezuela and the seizure of Maduro, saying the strikes "crossed an unacceptable line" and set a "dangerous precedent." Lula said the action evoked "the worst moments of interference" in Latin America and threatened the region's status as a zone of peace. Despite his past alliance with Maduro's predecessor Hugo Chavez, relations have cooled since Brazil refused to recognize Maduro's disputed 2024 election victory, widely dismissed as fraudulent."
The Trump administration executed airstrikes and reported the capture of Nicolás Maduro, representing a major U.S. intervention in Latin America. Colombia deployed security forces along its border to prepare for a potential refugee influx and confirmed multiple strikes in Caracas, including a military airbase and the legislative building. Brazil condemned the action as unacceptable interference and warned of a dangerous precedent. Mexico and Chile also criticized the strikes, with Mexico calling them a violation of the U.N. Charter. Cuba labeled the action state terrorism and warned that disruptions could worsen its severe economic and oil supply challenges.
