Global Backlash Against U.S. Venezuela Campaign

The U.S. campaign against Venezuela has led to an open geopolitical alignment against Washington. States like Russia, China, Iran and other allies are publicly supporting Venezuela and condemning the actions taken by the U.S. Russia is criticizing the seizure of tankers as illegal maritime enforcement and warning of potential destabilization in Latin America. China, being Venezuela’s largest oil buyer, is protesting against the interception of Venezuelan crude destined for China, framing U.S. actions as violations of global trade norms. Iran is expressing solidarity with Caracas and linking U.S. actions to their broader sanctions warfare. At the United Nations Security Council, Russia and China are opposing U.S. justification of sanctions and maritime actions, calling for restraint and respect for sovereignty. Critics describe U.S. strategy as ‘Resource imperialism’ and ‘Energy-driven coercion’, highlighting Trump’s remarks about selling seized oil as evidence of economic motives.
