Interim government in Venezuela: There is only one president here, his name is

A senior Venezuelan official said on Monday that the country's interim government would stand by President Nicolas Maduro, who is in a New York detention center awaiting a court appearance on Monday on drug charges after U.S. President Donald Trump ordered his arrest.

"Here, the unity of the revolutionary force is more than guaranteed, and here there is only one president, whose name is Nicolas Maduro Moros. Let no one fall prey to the enemy's provocations ," Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello said in an audio shared by the ruling socialist party PSUV on Sunday, as he called for calm.

Vice President Delcy Rodriguez, who also serves as oil minister, has taken over as the country's interim leader.

Because of her connections to the private sector and deep knowledge of oil, the country's main source of revenue, Rodriguez has long been considered the most pragmatic member of Maduro's inner circle.

The Venezuelan government has said for months that Trump's campaign is an attempt to seize control of the country's vast natural resources, especially its oil, and officials have taken great note of Trump's comments on the subject on Saturday, when he said major American oil companies would enter the country.

"We are outraged because in the end everything was revealed — it was revealed that they only want our oil ," added Cabello, who has close ties to the military.

Venezuela's state oil company PDVSA is asking some of its joint ventures to reduce crude oil production by shutting down oil fields or groups of wells due to an export paralysis, three sources close to the decision told Reuters. /CNA
