Trump Declares Himself Acting President of Venezuela
World
US President Donald Trump posted a screenshot on the social network Truth Social, portraying himself as the acting president of Venezuela while retaining his role as President of the United States. The move follows the January 3 operation in which US forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores and brought them to New York to face drug-terrorism charges.
The current acting president of Venezuela remains Delcy Rodriguez. Russia’s Foreign Ministry expressed support for the Venezuelan people and demanded the release of Maduro and his wife, while China criticized the United States for violating international law.
Trump emphasized that control over the situation in Venezuela is now in the hands of US leadership, headed by himself.
