"The government of Venezuela is in charge in our country, and no one else. There is no foreign agent governing Venezuela, Rodriguez said. Venezuela's prosecutor general, meanwhile, called for the immediate release of Maduro and his wife. The military operation, without a declaration of war or a UN Security Council resolution, represents an illegal act of armed aggression of a terrorist nature, Tarek William Saab said."
"Since seizing Maduro from his residence, the administration of US President Donald Trump has offered little clarity about its plans for Venezuela going forward. Trump said on Saturday that the US would run Venezuela, a statement US Secretary of State Marco Rubio walked back the next day. The top diplomat instead said that US officials would guide the direction of how the country is run and use sanctions and an ongoing embargo to force more access to Venezuela's oil industry."
Delcy Rodriguez asserted that the Venezuelan government controls the country and denied any foreign agent governs Venezuela. Venezuela's prosecutor general Tarek William Saab demanded the immediate release of Nicolas Maduro and his wife and labeled their seizure as an illegal act of armed aggression of a terrorist nature. Maduro and his wife pleaded not guilty in a New York court to drug‑trafficking conspiracy charges. The US military operation seized Maduro from his residence, left dozens dead, and has been broadly condemned as a violation of international law. Venezuela released a list of 24 soldiers killed, Cuba reported 32 military deaths, and Rodriguez declared seven days of mourning. US officials have provided little clarity on next steps and issued mixed statements about guiding Venezuela and using sanctions and an embargo to force oil access.
