'She is going to pay a very big price': Trump issues new threat to interim leader of Venezuela

In an interview with The Atlantic, Donald Trump said rebuilding and regime change in Venezuela "is better than what you have right now."

Donald Trump laid out a stark warning to Venezuela’s interim leader Delcy Rodríguez, telling The Atlantic that “if she doesn’t do what’s right, she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro.”

Rodríguez had been serving as Venezuela’s vice president under President Nicolás Maduro, and the country’s supreme court declared that she would immediately assume the role of acting president after U.S. forces captured Maduro and brought him to the U.S.

Trump’s comments mark a shift in rhetoric from a day earlier, when he told reporters that Rodríguez had a “gracious” conversation with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
