Ireland is not taking a “softly softly” approach over US intervention in Venezuela, the Tánaiste has said.

Simon Harris said he would not describe the Trump administration’s strikes on Venezuela and the middle-of-the-night capture of its president Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores as “kidnapping”.
