President of the United States, Trump posted a photo of himself and related biography on the social media platform "Truth Social" on January 11. In the biography, he is not only the President of the United States but also the interim president of Venezuela.

At around 1:00 a.m. on January 3, the United States raided the capital of Venezuela, Caracas, and took away Maduro and his wife, transferring them to New York for "trial."

Later that day, Trump held a press conference, discussing the arrangements for post-Maduro Venezuela. The U.S. will take over Venezuela until a "safe, proper, and wise transition" can be achieved, and stated that the U.S. does not want other parties to intervene. When asked about whether U.S. troops would be deployed in Venezuela, he said that the U.S. "has no fear" of sending ground forces.

He said that the U.S. will form a working group to "manage" Venezuela, with Rubio responsible for specific matters.

Trump also said that American major oil companies will enter Venezuela, invest billions of dollars, repair the severely damaged infrastructure, especially the oil infrastructure, and start generating revenue.

Trump claimed again on the 4th that the U.S. has "controlled" Venezuela.

On the presidential aircraft "Air Force One," Trump told the media that the U.S. is dealing with the Venezuelan government. "Don't ask me who is in power now because I will give you an answer, and this answer will be very controversial."

When journalists asked further questions, Trump said, "What I mean is that we are in control now."

Venezuelan Vice President Rodriguez has served as the interim president of the country and was officially sworn in on January 5. On January 4, Trump had previously told the media that if Rodriguez "does not act properly," she may pay a "heavier price" than Venezuelan President Maduro.

On January 6 local time, in response to Trump's previous statement that the U.S. had "taken control" of Venezuela, Rodriguez emphasized that Venezuela is not ruled by any external force, and the Venezuelan government is currently in power.
