Trump's Venezuela Gambit: Unraveling Power's Layers
Update: 2026-01-04
Description
President Trump claims Venezuelas VP Delcy Rodriguez is acting president, hinting at a power shift. However, the top court backs Maduro, and Rodriguez, along with key allies, insist Maduro remains president. Trump dismisses opposition leader Maria Corina Machado. The real power lies with a tight-knit group of civilians and military brass, led by Diosdado Cabello, who controls intel agencies and has ties to armed civilian militias. Generals control food, oil, and smuggling routes, with some border commanders close to Cabello and Padrino profiting from illicit trade. Despite whispers of defection, Cabello shows no sign of budging, prolonging the standoff. Checkout Solipillow.com
