New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has personally called President Donald Trump to demand the release of captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, whilst his allies in the Democratic Socialists of America launched a campaign calling the military operation an 'illegal war'.
The newly inaugurated democratic socialist mayor said during a press conference on Saturday that he spoke directly with Trump to register his opposition to the operation. 'I called the president and spoke with him directly to register my opposition to this act and to make clear that it was an opposition based on being opposed to a pursuit of regime change, to the violation of federal international law,' Mamdani said.
