Venezuela's Supreme Court orders Delcy Rodriguez become interim president
Delcy Rodríguez assumed interim presidency under constitutional succession after Maduro's capture in a U.S. military operation, with the Supreme Court ensuring governance continuity.
- On Saturday, Venezuelan Supreme Court ordered Delcy Rodríguez, Vice President, to immediately assume all presidential powers after Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores were seized in a U.S. operation.
- U.S. intelligence agencies produced months of planning and monitored Maduro closely, while Venezuela's constitution states the vice president assumes presidential duties during absence.
- Delcy Rodríguez denounced the action on state television, calling Maduro's detention a kidnapping and demanding proof of his and Cilia Flores's whereabouts while pledging to defend Venezuela's sovereignty.
- President Donald Trump said the U.S. will work with Delcy Rodríguez to transition to a democratically elected government, while U.S. officials warned they retain leverage including an oil quarantine as Maduro's inner circle governs short term.
- With many countries recognising Edmundo González Urrutia as president-elect, Marco Rubio, U.S. Secretary of State, said 'Government will come about through a period of transition and real elections, which they have not had'.
