"Delcy Rodríguez, who was vice president of Venezuela under Nicolás Maduro, has been sworn in as president after Maduro's seizure by U.S. forces Saturday to face narco-terrorism charges in New York. But President Donald Trump has made no secret about who he views as really in charge. The United States would now "run" Venezuela, Trump said Saturday, without offering details about how."
"Last month, Trump renewed his push for Greenland after appointing a special envoy to the country, saying: "We need Greenland for national security, not for minerals. ... We have to have it.""
Delcy Rodríguez, formerly vice president under Nicolás Maduro, was sworn in as president after Maduro was seized by U.S. forces to face narco-terrorism charges in New York. President Donald Trump publicly asserted that the United States would "run" Venezuela and later told reporters, "We're in charge," while Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested U.S. leverage over key policies. The pattern reflects repeated presidential proposals to take control of territory outside the United States. Trump has long pursued Greenland, appointed a special envoy, framed Greenland as a national security need, and prompted rebukes after a pro-Trump social post showed a U.S.-flagged map captioned "SOON."
