Trump administration reportedly warns Maduro ally Diosdado Cabello could be next | Venezuela

The Trump administration has reportedly warned Diosdado Cabello, the hardline interior minister of Venezuela, that he could face similar consequences to Maduro if he does not support the acting president, Delcy Rodríguez. US officials have expressed concern that Cabello could sabotage Washington's plan for a transition and maintain access to Venezuela’s oil. Cabello has been shown publicly taking charge with his armed forces in Caracas, including patrolling streets and enforcing checkpoints. He has also posted videos of himself interacting with civilians and showing support for the regime, while also expressing resentment at not being given more power. The US attack on Venezuela has led to a crackdown by Cabello's colectivos, with at least 16 journalists detained and a state of emergency declared.
