BERLIN, Jan. 4 (Xinhua) — German Vice Chancellor and Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil said Sunday that the US intervention in Venezuela "raises serious concern" and stressed the need to comply with international law.

"International law must be respected. This also applies to the actions of the United States," the German news agency DPA quotes L. Klingbeil as saying.

L. Klingbeil, who is also co-chairman of the ruling Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), emphasized the importance of preventing further escalation of the situation.

He called on all parties to "find a path to a peaceful transition to democracy in Venezuela," adding that the Venezuelan people must be able to determine their own future.

As US President Donald Trump reported on the social network TruthSocial, on January 3, the United States launched a major strike on Venezuela, during which the President of this South American country, Nicolas Maduro, and his wife were “captured and taken out of the country.” –0–
