The United Kingdom has said it was not involved in reported US military strikes on Venezuela, as questions mounted over international responses to the operation. British officials stressed that the decision was taken independently by Washington.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed that the UK did not participate in or support the strikes, while declining to issue an immediate condemnation. He said the government was monitoring developments closely and assessing the situation as more information becomes available.
British officials emphasised the importance of stability, international law, and the protection of civilians, while urging restraint and de-escalation. The government also said diplomatic channels remained open as allies and international institutions evaluated the implications of the reported action.
The UK’s position reflects caution among some US allies, as reactions continue to emerge globally. Observers say further statements may follow as details surrounding the strikes and their consequences become clearer.
