Venezuelan interim president Juan Guaidó has offered to collaborate with the United States following warnings from former U.S. President Donald Trump about potential further strikes. The offer comes amidst international scrutiny of a recent U.S. military operation, the details of which remain unspecified in the provided source material.

The international reaction to Trump's warning and the preceding military action has been varied. Several European nations, including France, Norway, and Spain, suggested that the U.S. had violated international law with the military operation. These countries largely issued statements calling for de-escalation and emphasized that they were closely monitoring the situation, stopping short of directly commenting on the legality of the American intervention.

In contrast, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni publicly praised the military operation, deeming it legitimate. This stance is notable given Meloni's previous statements suggesting that external military action is not the appropriate method for resolving totalitarian regimes. Meloni, known for her close relationship with Donald Trump, spoke with Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado on Sunday. According to a statement from Meloni's office, both leaders agreed that the departure of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro would create the necessary conditions for a peaceful and democratic transition in Venezuela. Machado has maintained for months that the opposition is prepared to govern the country.

The situation unfolds against a backdrop of ongoing political and economic instability in Venezuela. Maduro's government has faced widespread condemnation for alleged human rights abuses and undemocratic practices. Guaidó, recognized by the U.S. and several other countries as the interim president, has been attempting to rally international support for a transition to democracy. The potential for further U.S. intervention, as suggested by Trump's warning, raises concerns about the potential for escalating conflict and its impact on the Venezuelan people. The differing reactions from European leaders highlight the complex geopolitical considerations surrounding the Venezuelan crisis and the divergent approaches to resolving it.
