"A clear breach of the Nuremberg principles which the UK helped write. Now a [Labour government] won't even defend them. This silence isn't diplomacy. It's the moral equivalent of a white flag."
"We invite the US government to collaborate with us on an agenda of cooperation oriented towards shared development within the framework of international law to strengthen lasting community coexistence,"
Keir Starmer said he would wait to establish the facts and speak to Donald Trump before condemning the US action in Venezuela, while insisting the UK would shed no tears over the end of Maduro's regime. Several Labour MPs criticised the US operation as a breach of international law, with Kim Johnson questioning whether the country still stands for international law and sovereignty, Richard Burgon calling Starmer's response shameful and reckless, and John McDonnell accusing the government of effectively rendering the country a Trump colony. US forces seized Nicolás Maduro and transferred him to the US to face drug charges. Donald Trump said the US would run Venezuela and warned of a possible second strike if remaining government members did not cooperate. Delcy Rodriguez was appointed acting president and offered to collaborate with the US within the framework of international law.
