People across Latin America had strong feelings about the U. S. getting involved in Venezuela. News of Nicolás Maduro's capture sparked lively discussions in Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, and even Peru. In schools, workplaces, and social media, people shared their thoughts. But unlike past events, there weren't big protests across the continent.
Most Latin Americans actually supported President Trump's actions. Polls showed that many people in Peru, Chile, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, and even Panama approved of the U. S. intervention. Carlos Segura, a teacher in Buenos Aires, said he was happy because he saw the end of a dictator and his Venezuelan friends were happy too.
However, not everyone agreed. Some people criticized the U. S. for interfering in Latin America. In Mexico, opinions were more divided. The country's leftist leader, Claudia Sheinbaum, spoke out against the attack. This shows that while many Latin Americans support U. S. involvement, there are still people who disagree.
The reactions to U. S. involvement in Venezuela show that Latin Americans have mixed feelings about foreign intervention. While some people support it, others are critical. It's important to consider both sides of the issue and think about the impact of U. S. involvement in Latin America.
