Exclusive: In first comments since US attack on Venezuela, Richard Hermer refrained from singling out Trump administration Nations are right to consider diplomatic relations when deciding whether to “call out” breaches of international law, the attorney general has said, after the UK government faced criticism over its reluctance to condemn the US attack on Venezuela.
