United States and Venezuela

Nicolas Maduro's former entourage was made up of civilians from the party and generals, it was a combination of civil and military personnel that surrounded Maduro and they had different positions. Delcy Rodriguez's last job was as foreign minister and then she became the VP and by the constitution she became interim president on Sunday. Obviously, in my perspective, she's in a corner, mostly because the attack on Saturday set a precedent... It really showcased to the world again that US military progress is basically unstoppable. So, what Trump did was hit the table quite hard and it said, look, this is what happened to Maduro already. I have a bounty on all of you, on Delcy Rodriguez, on the minister of the interior and on the minister of defence. So what they're doing now is they're trying to see how to negotiate back with Marco Rubio and with President Donald Trump on how to save themselves."
