The US President ramping up “pressure on Venezuela” leads the Financial Times today after the White House warned of further armed force in Caracas if “a series of conditions laid out” by Marco Rubio is not met by Venezuela’s Vice President Delcy Rodr\u00edguez, the paper reports. Over the weekend, the US captured the country’s leader, Nicol\u00e1s Maduro. The US accuses Maduro, who is charged with drug trafficking and weapons offences, of running a “narco-terrorist” regime – a claim he denies.<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Trump’s warning to Caracas to toe the line or pay a “big price” is given full prominence on the Guardian’s front page. US officials said they would keep 15,000 troops in the Caribbean in case there was need for fresh intervention “if Venezuela’s interim president did not accommodate their demands”, the paper reports. <\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

The Times also focuses on Trump’s warning to “Venezuela’s new leader” against defying the US. Following questions over the president’s claim that the US would run the South American country, Trump said Delcy Rodr\u00edguez would “pay a very big price” if she “doesn’t do what’s right”. <\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

The Daily Telegraph focuses on Donald Trump’s possible next moves, with his sights set on Greenland. The paper includes a quote the president gave in an interview to the Atlantic, in which he states: “We do need Greenland… we need it for defence.” Trump has previously refused to rule out using force to secure control of Greenland.<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

A handcuffed Maduro surrounded by US Drug Enforcement Administration officers takes up the majority of the Independent’s front page, accompanied by words “We are NOT at war”. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio insists “America is at war with drug cartels, not with Venezuela”, the paper reports, as Caracas military leaders called for the release of their president. <\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Labour MPs have accused Sir Keir Starmer of “double standards” for not condemning the US strikes on Venezuela and capture of Maduro, the Daily Mail reports. So far, Sir Keir has said he would “shed no tears” over “America’s Venezuela coup”. According to the paper, “left-wing hardliners” want the UK to criticise its “greatest ally”.<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

\"The<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The i Paper takes a different approach, leading with Sir Keir’s comments on the UK moving “even closer” to “EU’s single market”. The paper describes it as the “starkest sign yet” of a “radically softer Brexit deal”. <\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

The Daily Express says Sir Keir has been accused of a “full-blown Brexit betrayal”. The paper quotes Reform UK’s Richard Tice on the matter, who says “Brits will be rightly worried” over Starmer’s pursuit of closer relations with Europe. <\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
