Story highlights

This comes as Trump seeks to control the production, refining and global distribution of Venezuelan oil.

Venezuelan interim president Delcy Rodriguez said on Sunday (Jan 25) that she had “enough” orders from Washington in a defiant statement amid US President Donald Trump’s pressure since the American forces captured Nicolas Maduro and bombed Caracas. This comes as Trump seeks to control the production, refining and global distribution of Venezuelan oil.

“Enough orders from Washington on politicians in Venezuela. Let Venezuelan politics resolve our differences and internal conflicts. Enough of foreign powers,” Rodriguez said in an address to oil workers in the eastern state of Anzoategui.
