British politician Jeremy Corbyn agreed with Venezuela's claim that the seizure of an oil tanker off its coast by U.S. forces constituted an "act of piracy" and it is "wholly illegal within international law."
Speaking at the House of Commons, Corbyn criticized the Labor government's reaction to the incident, saying it was "extremely low key, acquiescent to a declaration by the U.S. that it gives itself the right tot interfere in the internal affairs of any country around the world it thinks it doesn't agree with."
