Trump faces backlash after Venezuela air strikes spark international outcry

Former British Defence Minister Tobias Ellwood has warned that Donald Trump's decision to launch air strikes on Venezuela's capital could backfire politically. The strikes, reportedly targeting infrastructure in Caracas on January 3, 2026, have drawn international condemnation and raised concerns about regional stability. Ellwood cautioned that the 'daring Venezuela operation' may work against Trump both domestically and internationally, noting that reactions from the Venezuelan people, the international community, and US allies 'may work against Trump.' The operation represents a significant escalation in US-Venezuela relations and comes amid ongoing tensions in the region. International organizations and neighboring countries have expressed alarm over the military action, which could complicate diplomatic efforts in Latin America.
