EU Split as 26 Members Condemn US Military Action in Venezuela

Twenty-six European Union countries have issued a joint statement urging all parties to respect international law following recent US military action in Venezuela. The statement calls for calm and restraint. The coordinated move highlights a rare foreign policy split within the bloc. Hungary, a member state, declined to sign the joint declaration. The US operation, which resulted in the capture of a high-profile fugitive, has drawn scrutiny over its compliance with international norms. The EU signatories emphasized the fundamental importance of sovereignty and the peaceful resolution of disputes.
