💨 Abstract

Former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro pleaded not guilty to narcotics charges in a U.S. court, declaring himself innocent and still the president of Venezuela. Maduro, captured by U.S. forces, faces charges including narco-terrorism and cocaine trafficking. Meanwhile, his vice president, Delcy Rodriguez, was sworn in as interim president in Caracas. The U.S. has asserted control over Venezuela, with President Trump stating that American oil companies will return to rebuild the country's oil infrastructure.
