‘Invasion or not?’ Broke int’l law or not’?: Press turns heat on EU over US’ Capture Maduro legality

Journalists grilled the European Commission after it refused to clearly condemn the US operation to capture Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. At a tense briefing, reporters pressed EU officials to say whether Washington’s actions violated international law and state sovereignty. Questions flew over whether the move amounted to an invasion, intervention, or act of aggression. The EU repeatedly sidestepped a direct legal judgment, insisting only that “international law must be respected.”The exchange exposed growing discomfort in Brussels over appearing to shield US actions under Trump.
