Well, I think that the administration has been seeking to create a legal framework by having DOJ folks on the mission, reading him his rights, bringing him to a courthouse immediately after his seizure in Venezuela.

That's what they said.

It's been mixed.

A lot of countries, even in Latin America, there was it's actually really interesting.

In Latin America, there was a meeting of South American leaders the day after the operation.

And Latin America has a long history of concern about U.S.

military intervention dating back many decades.

You could go on and on.

I mean, there's the U.S.

occupier.

Nicaragua for a period of time.

There's a long history of US military activity in Latin America.

This meeting happens and there was some expectation they might come to a consensus, but there was no consensus on whether to condemn the operation.

Internationally, you saw the same thing play out at the UN where there wasn't a consensus there either.

There are countries that are condemning it, including US adversaries like China and Russia, clearly.

And there are countries that are trying to not get involved and not take a side.

And there are some countries that support it.

So it is a real mixed bag there.

Well, listen, I am actually, you know, I'm a former Latin America correspondent, right?
