Delcy Rodríguez has been sworn in as the interim leader of Venezuela. She was first declared the acting president by Venezuela’s highest court following the capture of ousted Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro by the United States.
Rodríguez is a member of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela and has served as the country’s vice president since 2018.
During her oath, Rodríguez called for Venezuelans to “join together as one people” during this difficult period in the nation’s history.
Shortly after Maduro was captured, Trump said the US would “run the country” until there could be a “safe, proper and judicious transition” of power.
