Trump Praises Venezuela's VP, But Who Is She and Where Does Power Lie?

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly praised Venezuela's Vice President, Delcy Rodríguez. He stated she is “willing to do what we think is necessary to make Venezuela great again.” His comments raise immediate questions. Rodríguez is a key figure, but President Nicolás Maduro firmly holds power. Rodríguez responded quickly to Trump's remarks. She declared that Maduro is Venezuela's "only president." Her statement reinforces the official position of the government. The exchange highlights the complex political situation. Rodríguez is seen as a powerful insider and potential successor. However, Maduro shows no sign of stepping down. International observers are watching closely. Rodríguez's role could become central in any future political negotiations involving Venezuela.
