Ammon News - Venezuela's interim leader Delcy Rodriguez insisted Tuesday no foreign power was governing her country, even as US President Donald Trump announced Caracas will be swiftly turning over millions of barrels of oil to the United States.

Rodriguez, who was vice president under toppled leader Nicolas Maduro, has given mixed signals about how much she is prepared to cooperate with Trump, at times sounding conciliatory, at others defiant.

Speaking three days after US special forces snatched Maduro and his wife in a stunning raid in Caracas, Rodriguez said: "The government of Venezuela is in charge in our country, and no-one else."

"There is no foreign agent governing Venezuela."

Trump insists Washington is now "in charge" of the Caribbean country but has said he is prepared to work with Rodriguez provided she submits to his demand for access to Venezuela's vast oil reserves.

The US leader was startlingly direct about his intent regarding the South American country's reserves, announcing on his Truth Social platform late Tuesday that Rodriguez "will be turning over between 30 and 50 MILLION Barrels of High Quality, Sanctioned Oil" to the United States.

"This oil will be sold at its market price, and that money will be controlled by me" as president, Trump said, adding that he has tasked Energy Secretary Chris Wright with "immediately" executing the plan.
