Interim leader faces walk on Washington tightrope

- Rory Carroll

Delcy Rodríguez

In her first speech as Venezuela’s interim leader, Delcy Rodriguez lambasted the US and pledged fealty to Nicolas Maduro. But the Trump administration has made a cold calculation: she will bow to Washington.

Rodriguez isa political veteran who served as Maduro’s vice-president and oil minister and defended the regime against accusations of terrorism, drug-running and election-stealing, yet for now she is Donald Trump’s favoured option to lead Venezuela. “She’s essentially willing to do what we think is necessary to make Venezuela great again,” he said.

The US president has not ruled out deploying ground troops but appears to want to “run” Venezuela through Rodriguez, who now finds herself in charge of a regime shocked and demoralised by the abduction of Maduro yet still in power.

The 56-year-old former labour lawyer struck a defiant tone in her televised speech on Saturday night. She condemned the abduction of Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, and demanded their return.
