U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday ​(January 4, 2026) said Venezuelan Vice-President Delcy ‌Rodríguez may pay a ​bigger price than ousted leader Nicolas Maduro “if she doesn’t do what’s right,” according to an interview with The Atlantic magazine. Mr. Trump initially praised Ms. Rodriguez on Saturday (January 3) after ​U.S. forces seized Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and ⁠his wife from Caracas. Ms. Rodriguez said later, however, that her country would defend ​its natural resources. Can’t get any worse.”Mr. Trump also said other ​countries may be subject to American intervention.
