North Korea on Sunday denounced the U.S. military strike that captured Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, calling the ouster of Maduro “the most serious form of encroachment of sovereignty.”
The North’s foreign ministry made the remarks as U.S. President Donald Trump said Washington has captured Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife in a large-scale military strike.
The North’s foreign ministry “strongly denounces the U.S. hegemony-seeking act committed in Venezuela as the most serious form of encroachment of sovereignty,” according to the North’s Korean Central News Agency.
