David Littleproud, leader of the Nationals in Australia, expressed skepticism regarding Donald Trump’s intentions to replicate the Iraq invasion in the wake of the US military operation in Venezuela, which resulted in the capture of President Nicolas Maduro. Trump labeled Maduro a major drug trafficker and indicated the US would oversee Venezuela’s transition. Littleproud emphasized the need for Venezuelan sovereignty and a peaceful return to the people, while Labor MP Tim Ayres highlighted the importance of international law in the situation. A coalition of Latin American nations condemned the US actions as violations of international law and principles of sovereignty.
