Venezuela’s Interim Government Supports President Nicolas Maduro

Venezuelan officials have pledged unity behind President Nicolas Maduro, who is detained in New York on drug charges following a U.S. operation. Maduro’s vice president, Delcy Rodriguez, has been recognized as interim leader, asserting Maduro still holds the presidency. The Venezuelan government claims U.S. actions aim to seize its oil resources, while opposition leaders express discontent over Trump dismissing their candidate for leadership. The U.N. Security Council plans to address the U.S. intervention, described as a dangerous precedent by its Secretary-General.
