Former Venezuelan Deputy Foreign Minister Temir Porras has denounced recent US military actions against Venezuela as "a blatant violation of international law," warning of escalating regional tensions in 2026. Speaking to CGTN Europe, Porras – now managing director at Global Sovereign Advisory – revealed Washington had systematically laid groundwork for intervention over several months, despite no formal armed conflict between the nations.
"This unilateral approach undermines diplomatic channels and sets a dangerous precedent for Latin America," Porras stated, emphasizing the potential economic repercussions for investors monitoring South American stability. His comments come amid growing scrutiny of cross-regional power dynamics and their impact on global energy markets.
Analysts suggest the situation could affect overseas investment flows, particularly in Venezuela's oil sector. The development highlights renewed challenges in maintaining international legal frameworks as geopolitical competition intensifies across developing economies.
