Venezuelan VP Rodriguez named interim president

 Venezuela's Supreme Court of Justice ordered that Executive Vice President Delcy Rodriguez be appointed as interim president after President Nicolas Maduro was captured by the United States and transferred to New York. The court conceded that the current situation is not covered by the Venezuelan constitution, but that it "requires constitutional certainty due to the extreme gravity that threatens the stability" of the country. It said that Rodriguez should assume the role temporarily to "guarantee administrative continuity and the comprehensive defense of the Nation."

While Rodriguez condemned the US operation as a "grave military aggression" and insisted Maduro is the legitimate leader of Venezuela, US President Donald Trump said she is ready to cooperate with his administration.
