In an exclusive interview with FRANCE 24, Venezuela's Attorney General Tarek William Saab condemned the January 3 capture of Nicolas Maduro by US special forces as "an unprecedented event" that violated the country's airspace and sovereignty. "International law has died at this time," he declared.
Venezuela's attorney general described the US operation in Caracas as "an invasion", noting that more than 100 people were killed in what he called a bid "to seize the natural resources" of Venezuela, "in violation of a country's airspace and in violation of its sovereignty".
When asked whether Donald Trump is effectively Venezuela's president, given his control over the situation in the country, Saab insisted that acting leader Delcy Rodriguez is the president of Venezuela.
Despite condemning Maduro's capture, Saab expressed openness to negotiations with Washington. "This is what I've been saying from the beginning. Peace, dialogue – this is what we need," he concluded.
