US President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have issued blunt warnings to Venezuela’s new interim leader, Vice President Delcy Rodríguez. In an interview President Trump stated that Rodríguez would “pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro” if she failed to “do what’s right,” openly endorsing regime change as preferable to the status quo. According to Bloomberg, Trump went further, arguing that the United States needed “total access” to Venezuela’s resources, particularly oil, in order to “rebuild the country.”
