US Bombs Venezuela | 'US Ready For Second Strike': Trump's Warning To Venezuela's New Leader
US President Donald Trump has warned Venezuelan interim President Delcy Rodriguez may have to pay a bigger price than ousted leader Nicolas Maduro "if she doesn't do what's right." Rodriguez served as Maduro's vice president since 2018, overseeing much of Venezuela's oil-dependent economy and its feared intelligence service, and was next in the presidential line of succession. "If she doesn't do what's right, she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro," Trump said during an interview with The Atlantic magazine. Trump initially praised Rodriguez after US troops captured Maduro and his wife from Caracas. Rodriguez said later, however, that her country would defend its natural resources. The Republican leader warned that a second strike on Venezuela was not off the table if Rodriguez does not cooperate with US. "We are dealing with the people who just got sworn in. We were prepared for a second wave, were all set to go, but do not think we will need it. Will hold elections at the right time," he said.
