“From the point of view of a small country, if that is the way the world works, we have a problem. To some extent, that has always been the way the world works.

The US military strike on Venezuela might yield “immediate” success for it but the world should be concerned about the fallout of the attack on the international order, says Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
