Venezuela's Interim Leader Sends Warning to US Over Leadership Influence
In a surprising move, Delcy Rodriguez, the interim leader of Venezuela, has stated that it's been "enough" orders from Washington. This statement comes amidst efforts by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to establish quick progress and open communication channels with Caracas.
The shift in tone is significant, given Rubio's comments earlier this week that touted the positive developments between the two countries. However, Rodriguez's remarks suggest that the level of US influence over Venezuela's future leadership remains to be tested.
On Wednesday, Rodriguez received a pledge of allegiance from the military, which appears to be a direct response to opposition leader Maria Corina Machado's comment that "no one has faith" in Rodriguez. Following talks with Rubio in Washington, Machado expressed her skepticism about Rodriguez's ability to effectively lead the country.
Rodriguez's warning to the US suggests that she is willing to push back against external pressure and assert Venezuela's sovereignty. This move could be seen as a test of the US's influence in Venezuelan affairs, with implications for regional stability and global politics.
As the post-Maduro transition continues, it remains to be seen how Rodriguez will navigate this delicate situation and balance her efforts to establish a new leadership with the interests of the US and other international players.

. She seems like she's trying to assert Venezuela's sovereignty and prove that they can make their own decisions without external pressure. It's all about balance, you know? She needs to show that she can lead the country effectively while also keeping the US on board 
.
. It's just politics as usual. The US wants what they want, and Venezuela needs to navigate its own path 
. I'm curious to see how this whole thing plays out 
. Will the US back down, or will Rodriguez hold firm? Only time will tell 
.
. The world is watching, and all eyes are on Venezuela right now 
. It'll be interesting to see how this situation unfolds and what the long-term implications are 
.
. She's tryin' to assert Venezuela's sovereignty, but at what cost? The US is already gettin' a little testy about this... I wonder if they're gonna back down or keep pushin' 
she seems so intense but also super confident 
, honestly I'm both scared and kinda excited for Venezuela's future 
I mean it's been a wild ride since Maduro stepped down 
, but at least they're trying to establish a new path 
! Delcy Rodriguez just threw shade at the US - time to see if they're ready for the heat 
. On one hand, it's good that Venezuela is taking matters into its own hands and not relying on others for guidance. On the other hand, has she considered the potential consequences of alienating the US even further? 
. Delcy Rodriguez needs to take a strong stance and show that she's got game 
. I mean, Rubio thinks he can just waltz in there and start giving orders? No way José! 
Venezuela's been through enough with Maduro and now its time for them to be like "no thanks" to any external influence 
. One thing's for sure, it's going to be a long and complicated ride

like, actions speak louder than words, Rubio! 
How long can she maintain control with the military on board? The implications for regional stability are huge 
.
You'd think she'd be more concerned with building alliances and getting support from other nations rather than warning off the US. But then again, maybe she knows something we don't?
