Venezuela has formally sworn in Delcy Rodríguez as its interim president following the capture of Nicolás Maduro. Rodríguez, who has previously been a loyalist to Maduro, faces significant scrutiny and pressure from the U.S., with Donald Trump issuing a series of warnings about the consequences of her actions. In a recent address, Trump laid out demands for the new government, while Rodríguez has adopted a conciliatory tone, expressing a willingness to cooperate with the U.S. Despite these overtures, Trump has made it clear that failure to align with U.S. expectations could result in serious repercussions. Meanwhile, the Venezuelan interim government emphasizes its intent to operate independently from U.S. influence, amidst ongoing challenges in the country.
