Venezuelan Military Recognizes Delcy Rodriguez as Interim President

The Venezuelan military has recognized Vice President Delcy Rodriguez as the interim president of the country, following the arrest of President Nicolas Maduro by the US military. The recognition is based on a decision by the Supreme Court ordering Rodriguez to take power for 90 days. Defense Minister General Vladimir Padrino Lopez condemned the 'cold-blooded' murder of members of Maduro's security team and called for his release. The armed forces have been put on full alert throughout the country to guarantee sovereignty.
