US EditionWorld is less safe after US action in Venezuela, says UN Human Rights Office
The UN rights office says the US operation violates sovereignty and worsens instability as 8 million Venezuelans need humanitarian aid, the UN said.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump named Colombia, Mexico, Cuba, Greenland and Iran as possible next targets while speaking aboard Air Force One after the Venezuela operation.
- The administration cited energy and security interests, framing Venezuela's oil as vital with U.S. oil companies set to rebuild infrastructure, and justified pressure on Colombia over alleged drug trafficking and sanctions.
- Turning to specifics, President Donald Trump accused Colombia's President Gustavo Petro of cocaine production, urged action on Mexico's strong cartels, and warned Iran could be hit hard if protesters are killed.
- Allied pushback highlighted diplomatic and security risks as Mette Frederiksen, Prime Minister of Denmark, warned attacking a NATO country could end the alliance, while Claudia Sheinbaum, President of Mexico, and the Cuban government condemned U.S. intervention.
- Domestic debates now center on oversight and legality as Stephen Miller, deputy chief of staff, may oversee Venezuela's transition while U.S. Congress questions Secretary of State Marco Rubio's legal rationale.
