When asked whether the military action by US leader Donald Trump against Venezuela might have violated international law, Labour leader Keir Starmer has not given an outright response.

During an interview on the “Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg” show on the BBC on Saturday morning, the prime minister did not criticize the attacks carried out by the U.S.

“I was waiting to get all the facts,” he said, though he would not “shy away from this” and said that he was a “lifelong advocate of international law.”

Sir Keir earlier stated that the UK had been uninvolved in the large-scale strikes on Venezuela on Saturday and that he had not spoken to President Trump regarding the mission that led to the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

Later in the day, the prime minister tweeted on the X platform that “We in the UK had considered Maduro an illegitimate president, and we certainly weren’t sorry to see the back of his regime”.

“The UK government will consider this situation in discussions with counterparts in the US in the coming days, as we work towards a safe and peaceful transition to a proper government that reflects the will of the Venezuelan people,” he also stated.

The government is cooperating with the UK embassy in Caracas to ensure the welfare and proper advice are extended to the 500 British nationals in Venezuela.

The Foreign Office has advised against all travel to Venezuela and urged any British citizens residing in the country to “shelter in place and be prepared to change your plans quickly if necessary.”

In the context of a comprehensive interview, questions were asked concerning Venezuela, and the PMs were satisfied with the way international law has been applied.

“I want to get all the facts on the table, and we simply haven’t got all of the information that is available,” Sir Keir told the BBC. “It is very fast-moving, and we have to try to piece that together,” he added.

“I can be very blunt with you, and I can certainly tell you that there has been no involvement by the UK in this operation. But then, I must speak to President Trump, to our allies, but that does not include me,” McGurk added.

“International law and the need to comply with international law have always been important to me.”

“However, what I would like to make sure of is that we have all the facts available, and we certainly do not have that available to us now. And that is what we need prior to making a determination about what the consequence is, relative to what has taken place.”

In a news conference at his residence in Mar-a-Lago, Trump stated, “We’re going to run Venezuela until there’s a safe, proper, and judicious transition. vocalist.”

He also revealed that the left-wing President of Venezuela, along with his wife, Cilia Flores, had been airlifted out of Caracas in a military operation in collaboration with US law enforcement.

The elite Delta Force soldiers were employed in the raid to capture the terrorists, according to the BBC’s North American news partner CBS News.

Maduro faces charges for drug and weapons trafficking and has been indicted by US officials. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio expected that there would be no further moves against Venezuela.

Before this, there had been US pressures directed at the Maduro regime.

According to the Trump administration, its actions in the region in the past few weeks are the result of its involvement in a non-international armed conflict against the suspected drug traffickers, whom it holds are engaged in irregular warfare against the US.

“The US military operation in particular, and indeed the overall operation, can be described within the category of a planned and systematic attack on civilians during a period of peace,” said a former chief prosecutor with the International Criminal Court.

The White House reacted by saying that it had conducted itself in accordance with “the laws of armed conflict in targeting cartels that sought to bring poison to our shores—to destroy American lives.”

In his respective BBC interview, Sir Keir has said that the UK is facing “a more volatile world,” although he failed to comment on whether Trump is adding to this volatility, while adding that he and Trump “do get on”.

“I think we’re certainly in a more unstable world than we have been for a considerable number of years,” said Sir Keir.

“And I’m really struck by the fact that what is happening internationally has much more of a direct impact on the UK than at any time that most of us can remember.”

“It is my duty to make sure that the relationship works as the prime minister of this country, in conjunction with the president of the United States.

“And not only have I taken up that challenge, but it has also become my business, and yes, as it so happens, I do get on with President Trump.”

Speaking to Sky News on Sunday, Darren Jones, the UK’s chief secretary to the prime minister, stated that it’s “not entirely clear what’s been meant” by Trump’s assertion that the US would run Venezuela.

He told Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips: “It’s now in the hands of the Americans and the Venezuelans to decide what will happen in the days that follow.”

He refused to comment on whether an international law violation had taken place by action by the US, saying that that was up to “international courts.”

Military intervention in Venezuela has provoked a reaction from across the political divide in the UK.

The leader of the Conservative party, Kemi Badenoch, responded that “I’m not going to rush to judgment” and that “there’s been a lot of noise from people who couldn’t find Venezuela on a map yesterday.”

“I am more interested in hearing the words of Venezuelans who risk their lives to find democracy,” she said.

‘Nobody is going to be shedding any tears that he’s been removed,’ said Shadow foreign secretary Dame Priti Patel.

“We’ve always strongly disapproved of Maduro’s brutal and repressive government, and the Conservative government never regarded the Maduro government as being legitimate,” she said.

“We await the full facts surrounding the US intervention that has brought Maduro down, but we certainly want to see democratic standards and freedoms extended to the Venezuelan people,”

“This is clearly a very serious geopolitical moment.”

The First Minister of Scotland and SNP leader, John Swinney, said, “The Maduro regime certainly has no legitimacy or democratic credentials, but it’s vital that the world’s countries abide by the international system of law.”

The party leader of the Liberal Democrats, Sir Ed Davey, and the leader of the Greens, Zack Polanski, have called upon Sir Keir Starmer, the leader of the party, to condemn the US.

“Maduro is a tough, illegitimate dictator, but this kind of illegal attack puts all of us at risk,” said Sir Ed. “Trump is sending a message to people like Putin and Xi, saying he’s got a free hand to attack other countries without repercussions.”

Polanski termed the US military operation as an “illegal act” and an “infringement of international human rights law.”

Reform Party leader Nigel Farage described the “unorthodox” military operation carried out by the United States as a possible deterrent from future aggression from Russia and China.

During the same period, the Foreign Affairs Chief for the European Union, Kaja Kallas, remarked, “The situation in Venezuela is followed closely, and we appeal to the Charter of the United Nations to be respected.”
