President Lula da Silva says the US raid\u00a0\u201crecalls the worst moments\u201d of US interventionism in Latin America<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brazil has condemned the United States’ military attack on Venezuela, calling the raid that captured President Nicolas Maduro a dangerous breach of sovereignty and international law that threatens to destabilize Latin America.<\/p>\n

President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva declared that the bombings and capture of Maduro “cross an unacceptable line.”<\/em> In a statement on X, Lula said these acts represent a “grave affront to Venezuela’s sovereignty”<\/em> and establish “another extremely dangerous precedent for the entire international community.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“The action recalls the worst moments of interference in the politics of Latin America and the Caribbean and threatens the preservation of the region as a zone of peace,”<\/em> Lula said, urging the UN to “respond vigorously.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Brazil’s condemnation has been echoed by several fellow BRICS members. The Russian Foreign Ministry labeled the US operation an “act of armed aggression,”<\/em> calling for restraint and warning against further escalation. China’s Foreign Ministry expressed “deep shock”<\/em> at the events, urging Washington to “stop violating other countries’ sovereignty and security.”<\/em><\/p>\n

US special forces conducted airstrikes on the oil-rich South American country and captured its president, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife in an early Saturday raid. Both have been brought back to the US and charged with drug trafficking conspiracy – allegations that Maduro has long denied, arguing that Washington was after regime change and Venezuelan resources.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump declared that the US will now “run”<\/em> Venezuela and control its oil production until a proper “transition of power,”<\/em> while threatening to stage a “second and much larger attack”<\/em> if Caracas refuses to cooperate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
