- Russia: The foreign ministry called on the US “to reconsider their position and release the legitimately elected president of a sovereign country and his spouse”, and said there needed to be a “dialogue” between Venezuela and the US
- China: The foreign ministry said it was “deeply shocked by and strongly condemns the US’s blatant use of force” and called on the US to “abide by international law”
- UN: Secretary General António Guterres said he was “deeply alarmed” and warned of a “dangerous precedent”, urging respect for international law
