As Donald Trump prepares to make his first public appearance since Venezuela’s former president, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife, Cilia Flores, appeared in a US court and pleaded not guilty to all charges, there is growing international concern over the shock US military operation in Venezuela, which the UN human rights office has said undermined a fundamental principle of international law.
We would like to hear from Venezuelans, both in the country and abroad, about how you are feeling in the wake of these events – either positively or negatively – and what concerns or hopes you have for Venezuela’s future. You might want to share how this is affecting you personally, your family, or people you know on the ground.
We are also interested in hearing from people in neighbouring countries that have been mentioned by Donald Trump and senior US officials – including Colombia and Cuba – about how the actions of the US and Trump’s rhetoric are being received where you live, and what impact you fear or expect they could have.
