The Constitutional Chamber of Venezuela’s Supreme Court ordered on Saturday that Vice President Delcy Rodriguez assume the role of acting president of the country in the absence of Nicolas Maduro, who was detained early Saturday morning in an operation by U.S. forces.
The court ruling said that Rodríguez would assume “the office of President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, in order to guarantee administrative continuity and the comprehensive defense of the Nation.”
