Trump Warns Venezuela's Guaidó: "Do What's Right" or Face Consequences

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio stated that the United States does not seek to govern Venezuela. His comment followed a warning from former President Donald Trump directed at the country's opposition leader. Trump said Venezuela's interim president, Juan Guaidó, may "pay the price" if he fails to act correctly. He did not specify what that price would be. The former president also suggested American intervention could extend beyond Venezuela. He mentioned Greenland as another potential location, without providing details. Guaidó has been recognized as Venezuela's legitimate leader by the U.S. and other nations since 2019. The current president, Nicolás Maduro, retains control of the government and military. Trump's remarks highlight continued U.S. pressure on Maduro's administration. The strategy of supporting Guaidó has remained consistent across U.S. political parties.
