US EditionUN Security Council to meet Monday over US action in Venezuela
The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting after the US captured Venezuelan President Maduro in a military operation that included seven blasts in Caracas, with zero US casualties.
- On Saturday, U.S. forces struck Caracas and captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, with President Donald Trump saying they would face federal charges in New York and calling it a `television show`.
- Months of U.S. actions against vessels off Venezuela set the backdrop for the operation, with the Trump administration intercepting two tankers last month and Maduro facing indictments and a $50 million bounty in the Southern District of New York.
- China and Russia immediately condemned the operation, with China `deeply shocked` and Russia demanding Maduro's release; France and Iran also condemned it, while U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he was `deeply alarmed` and warned of a dangerous precedent.
- The United Nations Security Council will convene Monday after the U.S. action deposed Maduro, with Colombia requesting the emergency session backed by Russia and China as Venezuela declared a state of emergency and regional leaders warned of risks.
- The U.S. pointed to Article 51 of the U.N. Charter as justification while legal commentators said opinions could support the invasion despite likely violations and warned of sprawling presidential discretion.
