Build pressure for freeing Maduro

Trump has no right to interfere in Venezuela’s internal affairs or to attack it militarily. Venezuela has not launched any attack on the US. The unprovoked assault therefore appears designed to seize control of the country’s vast oil reserves and assert US international hegemony. It also echoes Trump’s expansionist instincts. Mere condemnation of this unpleasant and unfortunate episode is not enough. The need of the hour is to build international pressure on Trump to release Maduro and his wife forthwith from illegal captivity and restore law and order in the beleaguered nation of Venezuela.
