The latest target for Donald Trump in Venezuela appears to be the nation’s top security official. According to sources closely connected to the situation, Interior, Justice, and Peace Minister Diosdado Cabello has been given an ultimatum. He must support Interim Venezuelan President Delcy Rodriguez, who Trump claims is collaborating, to comply with U.S. demands and maintain order after Nicolas Maduro’s capture and extradition.

Cabello, formerly Hugo Chávez’s vice president in 2002, currently oversees security forces that have been accused of significant human rights violations in Venezuela. Now, he is among the Maduro supporters that the Trump administration hopes to leverage for stability as they assist Venezuela in transitioning to a new government. A source knowledgeable about the administration’s plans shared that the President aims to maximize influence over remaining factions in Venezuela, ensuring their cooperation to curb illegal immigration, halt drug trafficking, revive oil production, and act in the best interest of Venezuelan citizens.

The longstanding rivalry between Rodriguez and Cabello raises questions about their ability to collaborate. Nevertheless, U.S. intermediaries have warned Cabello that failure to cooperate could result in a fate similar to Maduro’s—or even endanger his life, according to a source. Maduro was apprehended in a U.S. special forces operation early on Saturday, and he, along with his wife Cilia Flores, was swiftly transported to New York to face narco-terrorism charges. They appeared for arraignment on Monday in New York’s Southern District Court.

Trump said that Rodriguez had a ‘friendly conversation’ with Secretary of State Marco Rubio following the capture of the ‘illegitimate’ president, and a senior adviser told Axios this week that the two might have daily calls going forward as Trump decides what to do next. The president told reporters on Air Force One when returning to Washington, DC on Sunday night that he hasn’t personally spoken with Rodríguez yet.

Also earlier on Sunday in a phone interview, Trump insisted that if Rodriguez ‘doesn’t do what’s right, she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro.’ He was clear during his Mar-a-Lago press conference on Saturday that he doesn’t want to leave a leadership void in Venezuela after the middle-of-the-night Delta Force operation to capture and extradite Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores.

‘We will run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,’ Trump said, keeping it vague on who exactly would lead the country in the interim and who would take over leadership. He emphasized: ‘We can’t take a chance that someone else takes over Venezuela who doesn’t have the interests of Venezuelans in mind.’
