New york city: U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a strong warning to Venezuela's acting president, Delcy Rodriguez, cautioning her of severe consequences if she fails to take appropriate actions. This development coincides with the United States' move to bring Venezuelan leader Nicol¡s Maduro to court for the first time.

According to Thai News Agency, President Trump stated that Rodriguez could face stricter penalties than those currently imposed on President Maduro. He expressed that a regime change in Venezuela would lead to an improved situation, emphasizing that conditions could not deteriorate further. Rodriguez, a vice president known for her allegiance to Maduro, was appointed acting president by the country's Supreme Court. However, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has asserted that the United States does not recognize the legitimacy of the Venezuelan regime.

Meanwhile, Nicol¡s Maduro, along with his wife Celia Flores, is detained in a Brooklyn, New York City facility. Both are set to appear before a U.S. federal court to face multiple charges, including drug trafficking, terrorism, and conspiracy against the United States. Their court appearance is scheduled for noon local time, which corresponds to midnight in Thailand.

Additionally, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is convening an emergency meeting today at the behest of Colombia. Venezuela's ambassador to the UN has criticized the U.S. operation as a colonial war aimed at dismantling the republic, undermining free elections, and installing a puppet government to exploit Venezuela's natural resources, particularly oil. The ambassador argues that this action violates the UN Charter, which mandates member states to refrain from threats or force against the territorial integrity or political independence of other nations.
