Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada welcomes the “opportunity for freedom” in Venezuela after the United States captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, but said all parties need to “respect international law.”
Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were captured by U.S. military forces in Caracas, Venezuela, on Jan. 3, following U.S. strikes in that country. The couple were flown to New York to face indictment for several drug trafficking charges, according to U.S. officials.
