Description
Labour Party in Turmoil: Starmers Mild Backing of Trumps Venezuela Strike Sparks Internal FightLabour Party faces internal strife as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer offers lukewarm support for US President Donald Trumps strike on Venezuela. Trumps actions, including capturing dictator Nicolas Maduro and his wife on narco-terrorism charges, have sparked controversy. Starmers statement emphasizing support for international law has not sat well with hard-left Labour MPs, who view Trumps move as a coup and compare it to Putins actions. Meanwhile, other Labour voices criticize Maduros human rights abuses and warn against ignoring international law. As the party grapples with its divisions, Starmer navigates the delicate balance between US relations and party rebels, leaving the Venezuela crisis uncertain.
