New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani strongly condemned the United States’ military action in Venezuela that led to the capture of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, calling it an “act of war” and a violation of international law. Mamdani said he spoke directly with former U.S. President Donald Trump to register his opposition to the operation and pursuit of regime change. He warned the move could negatively affect tens of thousands of Venezuelan residents in New York City and stressed the need to safeguard their safety. Trump’s administration justified the raid on drug-trafficking charges and plans to bring Maduro to face U.S. courts.
