Tempers flared at the UN Security Council as the U.S. and Colombia clashed over Maduro’s detention. Washington defended its Venezuela strike as a “surgical law enforcement operation,” with Mike Waltz insisting there was no war. Colombia erupted, blasting Trump’s envoy and denouncing the raid as “illegal” and utterly unjustified. The session descended into a heated showdown, exposing a fierce rift between Washington’s bold actions and Latin America’s outrage, as diplomats sparred over sovereignty, law, and the limits of American power.
