The United States conducted “criminal strikes against the people of Venezuela,” the ambassador said, noting that the objective was to exert control over the country’s natural resources.
The U.S. military launched a series of attacks against Venezuela early Saturday morning, during which Maduro was captured and flown out of the country along with his wife. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Maduro will face trial in the United States.
The military action against the South American nation has drawn widespread international condemnation, with multiple countries calling for a coordinated global response.
