The Trump administration carried out airstrikes and missile attacks on Venezuela last week without congressional authorization, resulting in the kidnapping of constitutional president Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.
Code Pink considers that this unilateral use of military force is illegal, reckless, and puts millions of lives at risk.
The organization had previously pronounced on the abduction of President Maduro and his wife. In a statement released on January 3rd, they said those actions a “blatant and illegal acts of war by the Trump Administration.”
“This act of aggression is a continuation of U.S. attempts to seize and plunder Venezuela’s natural resources and undermine Venezuela’s sovereignty as well as the sovereignty of other countries in Latin America,” they highligted.
Code Pink reaffirmed that Trump’s war actions in Venezuela does not reflect the will of the people because nearly 70% of Americans oppose another war and reject the endless cycle of military interventions carried out in their name.
