UK 'not involved in any way' in US strike on Venezuela, Starmer says

The UK government has denied any involvement in the recent US operation targeting Venezuela. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer stated that the UK was "not involved in any way" with the US strike against President Nicolas Maduro's government. The Prime Minister has not spoken to US President Donald Trump about the seizure of Venezuelan ships carrying Iranian fuel. The UK government maintains that it does not support the Maduro regime and has called for a return to democracy in Venezuela, but it has not participated in the US-led operation. The article highlights the UK's neutral stance on the ongoing tensions between the US and Venezuela, despite the close relationship between the two countries. It suggests that the UK is distancing itself from the US actions, focusing instead on promoting a peaceful resolution to the political crisis in Venezuela.
