French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday said he "neither supported nor approved" the US military operation to grab Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, a government spokesman said.
His comment clarified an initial public reaction Macron made that Venezuelans "can only rejoice" at Maduro's overthrow.
That first reaction drew criticism from several political figures in France, some of whom saw the French president as kowtowing to US President Donald Trump.
It also contrasted with a reaction from French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot who on Saturday condemned the US operation – saying it undermined international law, while stressing that no solution to Venezuela's crisis can be imposed from the outside.
