Overview
- On X, Navratilova endorsed a call for the International Criminal Court to sanction any American oil company that expropriates Venezuelan crude.
- She later accused the United States of "holding a country hostage" and "pillaging its natural resources," adding that the next target could be Greenland or Nigeria.
- Her posts followed Trump's remarks that U.S. energy companies would return to repair Venezuela's oil infrastructure and take some oil as compensation for prior asset seizures.
- The debate comes days after a U.S. operation captured Nicolás Maduro, who is now in U.S. custody facing narco-terrorism and weapons conspiracy charges in the Southern District of New York.
- Online reaction to Navratilova's stance was mixed, as she also labeled Trump "absolutely insane" and a "serial criminal" in further posts about the intervention.
