The US ambassador to Chile clarifies that no "independent investigation" was conducted on the social unrest

U.S. Ambassador to Chile Brandon Judd issued a clarification on Wednesday regarding his previous comments concerning the 2019 social unrest in Chile. The statement follows a summons from the Chilean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, prompted by the ambassador's earlier remarks in which he attributed the unrest to the actions of left-wing activists. In his follow-up, Judd clarified that no independent investigation had been conducted by the United States regarding the events of the social outbreak. The clarification serves to address the diplomatic tension arising from the ambassador's initial characterization of the domestic political crisis.
