Trump warns Venezuela’s new leader “do what’s right or pay a very big price” | BBC News
Donald Trump has issued a new threat against Venezuela, telling interim leader Delcy Rodríguez she will “pay a very big price” if she does not cooperate with the United States.
It follows the US attack on the country and seizure of its president Nicolás Maduro, who has been flown to New York to face drugs trafficking charges.
Ms Rodriguez, who served as vice-president under Mr Maduro, has publicly condemned the American operation, describing his seizure as an atrocity and saying Venezuela will defend itself. However Donald Trump said in a new interview: “If she doesn’t do what’s right, she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro.”
He had previously said that the US was going to “run Venezuela” for the time being and has repeatedly stated that the US plans to control the country’s vast oil reserves. The Trump administration has made clear that it is ready to carry out a further attack on Venezuela and has massed a large military presence in the region.
Nicolás Maduro is being held in jail in New York and is expected to be brought before a court shortly on charges of drug trafficking and what the Trump administration describes as “narco-terrorism”.
