"Venezuela's interim president Delcy Rodriguez declared that deposed leader Nicolas Maduro is innocent and remains, in her eyes, the country's legitimate president, as she insisted that she is in charge not President Donald Trump. Maduro and his wife were captured by United States forces in January and brought to New York, where they were charged with narco-terrorism charges. Maduro had previously been indicted on drug charges in 2020 in the United States."
"KRISTEN WELKER: Who is in charge here? Are you in charge or is President Trump in charge? DELCY RODRIGUEZ: Well, I can tell you I am in charge of the presidency of Venezuela, as is stated clearly in the constitution of Venezuela. And from the amount of work that I have and how busy I am, I can tell you it's very, very hard work and we're doing it completely day by day."
Delcy Rodriguez declared Nicolas Maduro innocent and affirmed herself as Venezuela's interim president, citing the constitution and her daily workload as proof of authority. Maduro and his wife were captured by United States forces in January, brought to New York, and charged with narco-terrorism; Maduro faced a prior U.S. drug indictment in 2020. Rodriguez, formerly vice president, said both Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores are innocent and confirmed U.S. engagement, noting an invitation to visit after establishing cooperation. Venezuelan oil exports were folded into U.S. control, and U.S. officials offered a contrasting view of who governs Venezuela.
