Maduro capture is raising the bar “against international norms”

According to public policy professor Sultan Barakat, President Trump's pursuit and potential capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro sets a concerning precedent. Barakat suggests that this action could signal to the United States that it is permissible to pursue and capture leaders in other countries. The statement implies that the U.S. government, under Trump, views Maduro as a primary antagonist and is actively working towards his apprehension. The professor's analysis highlights the potential ramifications of this action on international norms and the future of U.S. foreign policy. The concern is that this action could be seen as a justification for similar interventions elsewhere.
