Trump administration reportedly warns Maduro ally Diosdado Cabello could be next

Marco Rubio lays out three-point plan as US signals interior minister must back acting president, Delcy Rodriguez

The Trump administration has reportedly put Venezuela's hardline interior minister, Diosdado Cabello, on notice that he could be next to fall if he does not support the acting president, Delcy Rodriguez, who has been in power since Nicolas Maduro was seized on Saturday.

Reuters reported that US officials are especially concerned" that Cabello, long seen by many as the regime's real No 2, could sabotage Washington's plan to keep key figures from Maduro's inner circle in place in the name of stability while pursuing a transition and unrestricted access to Venezuela's oil.
