In Caracas, Venezuela’s Vice President Delcy Rodríguez was formally sworn in as interim president on Monday. On Saturday, Rodríguez was initially defiant in her condemnation of the Trump administration’s assault, calling it “barbaric” and a violation of Venezuelan sovereignty, but during a Cabinet meeting Monday, Rodríguez continued with a more conciliatory tone, saying her government would engage in some cooperation with the U.S. This comes after President Trump threatened her in an interview with The Atlantic, saying, “If she doesn’t do what’s right, she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro.”
