The Trump administration, which kidnapped Venezuelan President Maduro and brought him to justice, has pressured Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello to cooperate with Delcy Rodriguez during the transition process. It is also claimed that plans are being made to send Cabello into exile due to concerns that he might sabotage the process because of his past rivalry with Rodriguez.

The Trump administration in the U.S. conveyed a message to Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello that he could be high on Washington's target list if he does not cooperate in "complying with U.S. demands and maintaining order" during the transition process.

The report suggested that Cabello, who has influence over the security forces, is considered one of the figures evaluated as a "temporary leader" alongside some loyal to President Nicolas Maduro, who was allegedly kidnapped for the purpose of providing temporary stability by U.S. President Donald Trump. A source stated that the Trump administration has assigned a limited role to these individuals to maintain stability during the transition period.

THEY ARE PLANNING TO REMOVE HIM FROM OFFICE

While U.S. officials expressed concern that Cabello could sabotage the process due to his past rivalry with interim President Delcy Rodriguez, it was reported that the administration is trying to force Cabello into cooperation while also seeking ways to remove him from power and send him into exile in the long term.

WHAT HAPPENED?

On January 3, around 2:00 AM local time in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, explosions and sounds of aircraft were heard. Following the explosions, the Venezuelan government accused the U.S. of carrying out attacks on civilian and military facilities in various regions of the country. U.S. President Donald Trump announced that a large-scale attack was carried out against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, and that Maduro and his wife were taken out of the country.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi also stated that a criminal complaint had been filed against Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores in the U.S., and that Maduro faced charges of "drug terrorism, cocaine trafficking, and possession of machine guns and destructive devices against the U.S."

The Venezuelan government called on the international community to condemn the U.S., while some countries criticized the attack, and there were also those who supported the U.S. with their statements.
