The former Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris, broke her silence with a strong message filled with warnings directed at President Donald Trump following the capture of the dictator Nicolás Maduro, in which she questioned not only the legality of the operation but also its true motivations.
In a post on social media, Harris, who lost the presidency to Trump in November 2024, labeled Maduro a "brutal" and "illegitimate" dictator, but made it clear that, in her view, the operation carried out by Washington has nothing to do with the fight against drug trafficking or the defense of democracy.
"We've seen this movie before," he wrote, referring to interventions that are presented as displays of strength and end in chaos, with consequences that ordinary families bear.
The statement came just hours after it was confirmed that Maduro and his wife were extracted from Venezuela and taken to the United States as part of the military operation known as "Absolute Resolution," which included explosions and power outages in Caracas.
For Harris, the backdrop is oil and Trump's ambition to present himself as the "strongman" of the region.
"The reality is that these actions do not make the United States safer, stronger, or more affordable," stated the former vice president, who criticized that American troops are being put at risk, billions of dollars are being spent, and Latin America is being further destabilized, all without a clear legal framework or a defined exit plan.
Harris also issued a direct criticism of the president's double standards, pointing out that one cannot speak of drugs or democracy while granting clemency to convicted drug traffickers and sidelining the Venezuelan opposition, all while negotiating with figures close to chavismo itself.
"The American people are tired of being lied to," he asserted.
