Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has issued a sharp rebuke of recent U.S. military action in Venezuela, calling it a threat to global stability. Speaking on January 8, 2026, Sánchez warned that the forcible seizure of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro risks plunging the world into a 'new era of uncertainty' reminiscent of past oil-driven conflicts. 💥
'This operation sets a dangerous precedent,' Sánchez declared at a press conference following the Coalition of the Willing meeting in Paris. 'We cannot accept actions that violate international law or prioritize resource control over sovereignty.' His remarks come amid growing tensions over the U.S.-led intervention, which Spain’s foreign ministry has condemned as 'clearly unlawful.'
Drawing parallels to historical disputes, Sánchez also referenced former U.S. President Donald Trump’s 2019 threat to annex Greenland, emphasizing that 'territorial integrity must be respected—whether in Europe or Latin America.' 🌎
With Spain vowing to 'use all resources to strengthen multilateralism,' the clash highlights deepening divisions over how global powers address political crises. As young professionals and students track these developments, many wonder: Will 2026 see a return to diplomacy-first policies—or a slide into unchecked interventionism? 🔍
