U.N. Security Council to Hold Emergency Meeting After U.S. Action in Venezuela

The UN Security Council will meet urgently after a U.S. strike and Maduro’s arrest, as global powers clash over legality and fallout.

Following a U.S. military strike on Venezuela and the arrest of President Nicolás Maduro, the United Nations Security Council will hold an emergency meeting on Monday, diplomats said.

The session was requested by Colombia with the backing of Russia and China, reflecting deep divisions among major powers over Washington’s actions and their legality under international law.
