Acting president, army, USA... Who holds power in Venezuela?
Jan 5, 2026
Venezuela's acting president offered on Sunday to collaborate with the United States on an agenda focused on "shared development", striking a conciliatory tone for the first time since U.S. forces captured the oil-rich nation's president, Nicolas Maduro. The US captured him his wife in a military operation Saturday. Trump said the US would “run” Venezuela temporarily, but Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Sunday that it would not govern the country day-to-day other than enforcing an existing " oil quarantine."
