Trump: New Venezuelan leader to pay 'big price' if she doesn't 'do what's right'

President Donald Trump has warned Venezuela's new leader, Delcy Rodriguez, that she will face severe consequences if she does not cooperate with the United States following the dramatic capture and extradition of former president Nicolas Maduro. US forces launched a surprise attack on Caracas, detaining Maduro and his wife, and bringing them to New York to face narcotrafficking charges. While the Trump administration insists it is not seeking full regime change, it has made clear its intention to control Venezuela's transition, with a particular focus on gaining access to the country's vast oil reserves. The international community has expressed concern over the US intervention, and the United Nations Security Council is set to discuss the crisis.
