The United States' military operation in Venezuela continues to draw international scrutiny, with multiple UN member states including U.S. allies expressing criticism. The developments follow the January 3 detention of former Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, culminating in Vice President Delcy Rodríguez's swearing-in as acting president on January 5.
Peruvian international analyst Farid Kahhat told CGTN the operation has created “unprecedented geopolitical tensions” in Latin America. While avoiding direct commentary on the legality of foreign interventions, Kahhat emphasized that “regional stability now hinges on how Venezuela’s transitional government navigates this crisis.”
The situation presents immediate challenges for investors monitoring Venezuela’s oil sector restructuring and businesses assessing supply chain risks. Academics note the case could redefine norms regarding state sovereignty in global governance frameworks.
With cross-regional diaspora communities closely tracking developments, the Venezuelan government’s next moves are expected to dominate discussions at upcoming international forums.
