From Fox News:
The presumed successor to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is currently in Russia, a report said Saturday.
Four sources familiar with the movements of Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez confirmed her location to Reuters, although the news agency cited Russia’s foreign ministry as claiming the report was “fake.”
Earlier in the day, Rodriguez demanded in audio played on Venezuelan state TV that the U.S. provide “proof of life” for Maduro and his wife after President Donald Trump said the pair were captured in a U.S. military operation.
Trump later shared to Truth Social a photo of Maduro seen detained, blindfolded and clutching a water bottle while wearing gray sweatpants and a sweatshirt aboard the U.S.S. Iwo Jima. Trump said he would later be brought to New York.
Trump said the U.S. would run Venezuela on a temporary basis, but he did not provide additional details other than saying members of his administration were working on establishing a plan to do so.
“The successors to Maduro are likely to be the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner and opposition leaders María Corina Machado and Edmundo González, an expert said Saturday,” Fox News reports.
Jorge Jraissati, the president of the Venezuelan Economic Inclusion Group, told Fox News Digital that “Machado and Gonzalez would assume a transitional government in Venezuela.”
