“The United States is an established power, but it is gradually turning its back on some of its allies and moving away from the international rules it has until recently promoted,” he said in his annual address to French ambassadors at the Elysee Palace.
Macron said there was a temptation among major powers to “divide the world.”
The American side has not yet responded to this statement.
On the night of January 3, American troops struck military facilities in the capital of Venezuela, Caracas, and captured the country’s president, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife, Cilia Flores. The US authorities do not consider Maduro to be the legitimate president of Venezuela and accuse him and Flores of conspiring to commit “narco-terrorism”.
The representative of the United States at the United Nations, Michael Waltz, said that the removal and detention of Maduro and his wife was “a surgical operation to maintain law and order with the support of the US military.” According to him, the USA is not at war with Venezuela and is not planning an occupation.
