Washington, DC – US President Donald Trump warned Venezuelan interim President Delcy Rodriguez on Sunday. She would face severe consequences, potentially exceeding those experienced by imprisoned Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. These consequences would occur if she failed to cooperate with the United States.
This is following the military operation that resulted in Maduro and his wife’s arrest.

In a telephone interview with the American magazine The Atlantic, Trump said that Rodriguez would pay “a very heavy price, perhaps even more than Maduro.”
This will happen if she does not take “the right steps” to cooperate with Washington. This statement came after a surprise operation carried out by US special forces inside Venezuela.

Conditional cooperation
Trump and other US officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, have hinted at opening channels of cooperation. They aim to work with remaining officials from the Maduro administration.
However, this cooperation is contingent on them responding to Washington’s demands. Chief among these is allowing US companies access to Venezuela’s vast oil reserves.

Trump asserted that the United States would “manage” Venezuela during a transitional period.
This came despite his previous criticisms of foreign intervention and nation-building policies. However, he believes the current situation in Venezuela is unsustainable.
In the same interview, Trump said that “rebuilding and regime change, whatever you call it, is far better than the current situation.” He described Venezuela as a “failed state” that had reached “a catastrophic point in every respect.”

political developments
In a related development, the US president reiterated his demand to annex Greenland, a territory belonging to Denmark, to the United States. He asserted that his country “desperately needs it for security reasons.”
When asked whether the military operation in Venezuela served as a model for what Washington might do in Greenland, Trump replied, “They’ll have to see for themselves. I really don’t know.”
