It might be Trump time in Venezuela.
Just days after jokingly endorsing his secretary of state to serve as president of Cuba, President Donald Trump indicated on Jan. 11 that he might be interested in a similar role in another nation in the Western Hemisphere.
Trump shared a doctored Wikipedia page calling himself the "Acting President of Venezuela" in a Truth Social post, less than 10 days after U.S. forces captured the Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores on Jan. 3.
Delcy Rodríguez, the country’s vice president under Maduro who was sworn in as Venezuela's new interim president last week, has said she wants to collaborate with the U.S. administration.
"We invite the US government to collaborate with us on an agenda of cooperation oriented towards shared development within the framework of international law to strengthen lasting community coexistence," she said in an Instagram post on Jan. 4.
Maduro and his wife have been arraigned in a Manhattan federal court on charges including drug trafficking and have pleaded not guilty. They are in U.S. custody in Brooklyn.
