I would imagine American involvement in WWII violated all kinds of
international law too but sometimes the law has to be ignored to do
right. I don't remember hearing about the Americans clearing customs on
the Normandy beaches so they apparently invaded (occupied) France. That
alone must be a major breach of law.

Our foreign minister made noises that acknowledged Maduro was an
illegitimate leader but made no effort to thank or praise Trump.
