The UN Security Council held an emergency meeting to criticize the US military operation in Venezuela that led to the capture of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. Various countries expressed their objections to the US intervention, with Denmark and France emphasizing the importance of international law and sovereignty. US officials defended the operation as justified, while critics warned of the implications for international relations and the potential for a lawless world. Maduro and Flores were captured and face charges of narco-terrorism in the US.
