Xi Condemns “Bullying Acts” After US Raid in Venezuela
“All countries should respect the development paths chosen by the peoples of other nations, and abide by international law, as well as the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, with major countries taking the lead in doing so,” Xi Jinping stated.
He delivered these remarks during a meeting in Beijing with Micheal Martin, the prime minister of Ireland, as reported by a news agency.
The comments coincided with a dramatic U.S. military operation in Venezuela over the weekend, where American forces carried out a pre-dawn raid, detaining the country’s president and first lady, who were subsequently flown to New York.
Xi emphasized: “In a world beset with changes and chaos, unilateral and bullying acts are severely undermining the international order.”
The United States conducted a “large-scale” mission in Caracas on Saturday, seizing President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores. Both are now in the U.S. facing criminal proceedings in a New York court.
According to Venezuelan officials, approximately 80 people lost their lives during the raid, a figure reported by a media outlet.
Maduro and Flores are currently held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, facing federal charges linked to drug trafficking and alleged collaboration with gangs designated as terrorist organizations.
