US Action Against Venezuela Update: New York City Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani, criticising the Donald Trump-led US action against Venezuela, called the attack a “blatant,” “act of war and violation” of federal and international laws.
In a post on X, Mamdani wrote, “I was briefed this morning on the U.S. military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, as well as their planned imprisonment in federal custody here in New York City.”
Sharply criticising the attack, he wrote, “Unilaterally attacking a sovereign nation is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law. This blatant pursuit of regime change doesn’t just affect those abroad, it directly impacts New Yorkers, including tens of thousands of Venezuelans who call this city home.”
“My focus is their safety and the safety of every New Yorker, and my administration will continue to monitor the situation and issue relevant guidance,” the post added.
Donald Trump’s actions in Venezuela do not make America safer, stronger, or more affordable.
That Maduro is a brutal, illegitimate dictator does not change the fact that this action was both unlawful and unwise. We’ve seen this movie before. Wars for regime change or oil that…— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) January 4, 2026Advertisement
Former US Vice President Kamala Harris, who served as the 49th Vice President of the United States during the presidency of Joe Biden, has also criticised Trump over the attack, calling it unlawful and unwise.
