Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has criticized the US capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, calling it an "unacceptable line" against regional stability. Lula expressed his indignation over the operation, stating it disrespects territorial integrity and creates a dangerous precedent.
Lula's remarks came after Maduro was seized by US forces and transported to New York to face narcotics charges. The Brazilian leader emphasized that South America is a territory of peace, with no nuclear weapons, and Brazil won't back down to anyone.
The US action has sparked concerns among Latin American countries about potential interventions by force on their turf. The move has also prompted criticism from the United Nations, with Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warning it puts the founding principles of the UN at risk. ¹ ² ³
