UK Government's Support for US Overthrow of Venezuela's Maduro Government
DEFENSE
The UK government has aligned with the US in efforts to oust Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro by recognizing opposition leader Juan Guaidó and freezing over $2 billion in Venezuelan assets. While UK forces have not engaged directly in military actions, they have integrated with US Navy personnel and established a 'Venezuela Reconstruction Unit' to prepare for a post-Maduro economy. Additionally, the UK has funded anti-corruption initiatives and supported Guaidó's legal efforts against the Bank of England regarding frozen assets.
