Nuclear power Vs pro-Russia nation? Rodriguez slams Trump’s aggression, vows to defend sovereignty

Venezuela’s interim President Delcy Rodríguez announced her government is engaging with the United States to explore reopening diplomatic relations and restoring embassies after U.S. forces captured former President Nicolás Maduro in a military operation. Rodríguez condemned the action as aggression and vowed to pursue diplomacy to protect Venezuela’s sovereignty. She thanked Qatar for helping secure initial proof of life for Maduro and the First Lady.
