Reactions in Latin America to the United States’ detention of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro have been divided. In several countries – including Argentina, Colombia and Chile – public opinions have differed from those of the national government. The public has tended to support Maduro’s arrest in countries that have struggled to absorb waves of Venezuelan migrants in recent years. Even states that have objected to his arrest have done so for their own reasons. Mexico has a strong non-interventionist history, and Uruguay has a solid democratic foundation and also tends to disapprove of foreign interference in domestic affairs.
