Title: Venezuela's Interim President Rodriguez Calls for Dialogue Amid Trump’s Threats
Following threats from U.S. President Donald Trump, who stated that Venezuela's interim President Delcy Rodriguez would face a "worse fate than Maduro" and pay a "heavier price" if she acts against U.S. interests, Rodriguez issued a surprise call for cooperation. Having assumed the presidency by a Supreme Tribunal of Justice (TSJ) ruling following Maduro's detention, Rodriguez shared a "message to the world and the U.S." via her Instagram account.
Stating, "President Donald Trump, our peoples and our region deserve peace and dialogue, not war," Rodriguez emphasized that this message is now the collective stance of Venezuela. Calling for an environment free from external threats and based on international law, she invited the U.S. government to strengthen coexistence through mutual respect and diplomatic cooperation.
