France: 'We Don't Lament Maduro, But the Actions of the US'

France expressed concern over the actions of the United States towards Venezuela, with a spokesperson stating that “we do not lament the fate of Maduro, but we lament the means used by the US.” France is limited to a discreet reference to the need for a peaceful transition in Venezuela, without substantially criticizing the Maduro regime, but calling for the release of political prisoners and recognition of the results of the 2024 elections. In addition, France expressed solidarity with Denmark after Trump's statements about Greenland, emphasizing its sensitivity to issues of sovereignty and national security.
