New York Mayor calls Maduro's detention an act of war: sharp reaction to the US operation.

According to ТСН: New York Mayor Zoran Mamdani called the US operation that resulted in the detention of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro an 'act of war' and accused Washington of violating international and federal laws.

In a comment, he clarified that Maduro and his wife were detained in nighttime Caracas, after which they were sent to the United States. According to preliminary estimates, the Venezuelan leader will be held under federal custody in New York, where he may face charges.

Mayor's Comment

Mamdani, who just became mayor three days ago, stated that he was informed about this operation and the plans to imprison Maduro in New York.

'A unilateral attack on a sovereign state is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law. Open attempts to change regimes affect not only those abroad but also the residents of New York, particularly the tens of thousands of Venezuelans who consider this city their home,' the mayor stated.

Thus, Mamdani called US President Donald Trump to express his outrage over the arrest of Maduro and his wife.

It is noteworthy that Maduro has already been brought to New York, where he is being prepared for trial.

This situation has caused a stir not only in the US but also in Venezuela, where Maduro has numerous supporters and opponents. Events surrounding the arrest may have serious consequences for bilateral relations and the political situation in the region. Observers note that the international community is closely monitoring the developments, as they may affect stability in Latin America.
