US: According to the Cuban government, the US military attack in Caracas to kidnap Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro resulted in the deaths of at least 32 Cuban people. Funeral plans will be undertaken, and the authorities declared two days of mourning on January 5 and 6 in remembrance of those killed in US airstrikes.

During Operation Absolute Resolve, US A soldiers shot down Maduro’s security crew, which included the majority of the dead. The Venezuelan Supreme Court ordered Delcy Rodriguez, the nation’s former vice president, to take over as interim president.

Rodriguez, a left-leaning politician, had previously said she supported Maduro and recognized him as the nation’s only administrative leader.

“China cannot tolerate any nation serving as the ‘world’s judge,'” said Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. “We have never believed that any country can act as the world’s police, nor do we accept that any nation can claim to be the world’s judge,” he said in a meeting with Pakistani Minister Ishaq Dar in Beijing on Sunday.

Following pictures of Maduro handcuffed and blindfolded, China’s top ambassador said that international law should completely defend each nation’s security and sovereignty. Maduro is awaiting a court hearing on drug-related allegations on Monday while incarcerated in a facility in New York.
