The Trump administration has indicated it intends to exert long-term control over Venezuela by directing the actions of its interim leadership and overseeing the nation’s oil exports after removing Nicolás Maduro, relying on measures such as a naval blockade and the threat of additional force to secure compliance from interim president Delcy Rodríguez.
