Government urged to sanction gangster state' US over Venezuela attack
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"A Labour peer has called on the government to impose sanctions on the United States, labelling it a "gangster state" following its conduct in Venezuela. Lord Sikka contended that Washington's actions contravene the UN charter, which explicitly mandates members to refrain from "the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state". He warned that the UK Government's failure to condemn this "aggression" risks emboldening US President Donald Trump to "annex" further territories."
The Independent reports across issues from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech and produces documentaries such as 'The A Word', spotlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet investigates topics including the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and maintains free access to reporting by avoiding paywalls, relying on donations to fund journalists on the ground. Lord Sikka urged the UK to sanction the United States, alleging violations of Article 2(4) of the UN Charter over conduct in Venezuela and claiming the kidnapping of the Venezuelan president and his wife. He warned that failure to condemn could embolden President Donald Trump to annex further territories, with European concern focusing on Greenland. The UK Government said it has no plans to impose sanctions and dismissed the suggestion as not serious.
