LETTER: It’s All About the Oil

Interim president Delcy Rodriguez denies US control claims after a raid captured Maduro; Venezuela reports 23 military deaths and detains 16 journalists, officials said.

  • On Tuesday, Venezuela's interim president Delcy Rodriguez insisted `The government of Venezuela is in charge in our country, and no-one else` after US special forces seized Nicolás Maduro in Caracas.
  • As Maduro's former vice president, Rodriguez signals both conciliation and defiance toward the US while trying to keep hardliners in the security forces and paramilitaries loyal.
  • Authorities and allies confirmed fatalities, with Venezuela's military listing 23 troops killed and 16 journalists detained in Caracas on Monday.
  • On Monday, Nicolás Maduro and Flores appeared in court in New York and pleaded not guilty, while Venezuela's constitution mandates elections within 30 days if Maduro is declared absent after six months.
  • International appeals and internal power moves emerged as Maria Corina Machado warned Rodriguez was untrustworthy and predicted opposition victory, while Claudia Sheinbaum urged a fair U.S. trial.
