The UK was not involved "in any way" in the US-led strike on Venezuela, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said.
Sir Keir said he had not yet spoken to US President Donald Trump about the US operation to seize President Nicolas Maduro in the country's capital, Caracas.
Asked if he condemned the US action, as a number of other UK politicians have, he told reporters he wanted to "establish facts" and speak to Trump first about the "fast moving situation".
The prime minister also said he was working with the UK embassy in Venezuela to ensure around 500 British citizens in the South American country are "well looked-after, safeguarded and get appropriate advice".
Trump said Venezuela's left-wing president and his wife were flown out of the country in a military operation in conjunction with US law enforcement.
Elite Delta Force soldiers were used in the raid to capture them, according to the BBC's North American partner, CBS News.
Maduro will be indicted in New York and face drugs and weapon charges, according to US officials. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he anticipates no further action against Venezuela.
Meanwhile, Sir Ed Davey urged Starmer to condemn the US actions.
The Liberal Democrat leader said: "Keir Starmer should condemn Trump's illegal action in Venezuela. Maduro is a brutal and illegitimate dictator, but unlawful attacks like this make us all less safe.
"Trump is giving a green light to the likes of Putin and Xi to attack other countries with impunity."
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said the "unorthodox" military operation by the US could prove a deterrent to future Russian and Chinese aggression.

We already knew that.
That was fast. Youโd think we offended some muslims.
Bloviating piece of crap says what?
Get lost, Keir, when we want to hear from you we’ll tell you when.
Poor Sir Keir. Still pretending heโs prime minister of a great empire whose decisions matter.
Maybe weโll hear from the prime minister of Greece next, and see if they were involved.
You should be next, Starmer. Cuffed and Gitmo’d.
Wimp.

But many in Venezuela were involved with a 50 million dollar bounty on Maduro you can bet on it.
Limp-wristed milquetoast EuroTrash. Him and that Canadian fag Mark Carney.
You see those clowns come out of the woodwork whenever there is an event initiated by Trump. Afterwards, they go hiding in their rat hole. Watch for French Macron to declare victory in Venezuela. It’s what those haughty leftist cretins do.
The right thing to do would be to have Special Forces pick up Prime Minister Cur Starmer too. England could use the help.
Of course not, coward unwilling to protect his own country
What a chicken-shite bestid is Sir Keir Starmer.
He has to rush right out and cover his poor Muslim-gnawed butt.
Mega embarrassing!
That’s because the UK was busy rounding up citizens for thought crimes and busy protecting Islamic terrorists. The UK and EU died sometime ago. Time the US exits NATO.
Sir Keir and Sir Ed are disappointed.
Duh, Wโ๏ธ.
Read the comment sections in the UK’s enemedia.
They’re begging Pres. Trump to do it.
The Queen must have had dementia on her way out, how else to explain a sad sack loser like Ed Davey being Knighted?
You’re off the hook. Whew!
