UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has confirmed that the UK was not involved in the recent US military operation in Venezuela. This operation reportedly captured Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, along with airstrikes on Caracas. Speaking for the first time after the attack launched by former US President Donald Trump, Starmer said he has not yet spoken to Trump. The prime minister emphasized the UK's focus on British citizens in Venezuela, saying, "The UK was not involved in any way in this operation, and as you would expect we are focusing on British nationals in Venezuela and working very closely with our embassy." Starmer added that the government is working with the British embassy in Caracas, where about 500 Britons live. He called the situation "fast-moving" and highlighted the need to "establish all of the facts" before making further statements. Starmer also expressed the intention to speak with the Venezuelan president and international allies soon. Regarding international law, Starmer said, "I always say and believe we should all uphold international law, but I think at this stage, a fast-moving situation, let’s establish the facts and take it from there." Political leaders from other UK parties have urged Starmer to condemn the US raid. Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey called the operation "illegal" and warned it could encourage other dictators. Green Party leader Zack Polanski criticized the UK government's supportive stance toward Trump, urging opposition to the strike. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage described the raid as "unorthodox" and acknowledged legal breaches but said it might pressure China and Russia. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has not commented publicly on the event.
