Chilean President Gabriel Boric condemns the U.S. military operation in Venezuela and the prospect of Washington “administering” the country and dictating a political transition, warning it sets a grave precedent that threatens state sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the multilateral order by normalizing regime change through force; he urges the UN to intervene to stop escalation and protect civilians, while Foreign Minister Alberto van Klaveren notes Santiago is coordinating with regional leaders and stresses that although Chile has sharply criticized Maduro’s dictatorship, it always pushed for a peaceful, negotiated transition rather than armed intervention.
