Ex-U.S. VP Kamala Harris Condemns Trump’s Military Action in Venezuela as ‘Unlawful and Unwise’ Former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has strongly criticized President Donald Trump’s military operation in Venezuela, describing it as “unlawful and unwise.” Harris stated that while Venezuela faces a political crisis under Nicolás Maduro, the use of force does not advance U.S. security or economic interests and risks destabilizing the region further. Harris condemned the capture of Maduro and warned that Trump’s actions reflect a familiar pattern of foreign interventions driven by oil and personal ambitions rather than democratic principles. She highlighted inconsistencies in Trump’s approach, including pardoning convicted traffickers while sidelining Venezuela’s legitimate opposition. Harris urged a shift in U.S. leadership priorities, emphasizing the need to focus on the rule of law, alliances, lowering costs for families, and protecting American troops and taxpayers. #VenezuelaCrisis #KamalaHarris #Trump #UnlawfulIntervention #USForeignPolicy #Maduro

Femi Falana Urges U.S. Congress to Sanction Donald Trump Over Illegal Venezuela Invasion, Calls on UN to Uphold International Law Nigerian human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Femi Falana, has called on the U.S. Congress to sanction President Donald Trump for an alleged illegal invasion of Venezuela, warning it violates international law and the United Nations Charter. Falana condemned Trump’s reported military action in Caracas, which resulted in the overthrow of President Nicolás Maduro, civilian casualties, and the capture of Maduro and his wife on terrorism and narcotics charges. He described the operation as part of “reckless gangsterism” in Trump’s second term, citing previous unauthorized military strikes in Iran and Nigeria. The lawyer accused the Trump administration of attempting to install a transition regime in Venezuela to seize its oil and gas resources, effectively turning the country into a U.S. colony. Falana emphasized that ideological differences with Maduro’s government do not justify military intervention or regime change. He urged the U.S. judiciary to reject Trump’s attempts to use domestic courts to undermine Venezuela’s sovereignty and called on the United Nations to demand justice and uphold the UN Charter. Falana also criticized the international community’s double standards, stressing that silence undermines global justice. #VenezuelaCrisis #FemiFalana #TrumpSanctions #InternationalLaw #UNIntervention
