Trump said he preferred Rodriguez, 56, in power rather than the country’s opposition leader, Maria Corina Machado, adding that Maduro’s VP was prepared to work with the US. ‘She, I think, was quite gracious, but she really doesn’t have a choice,’ ‘She is essentially willing to do what we think is necessary to make Venezuela great again. Very simple.’

But the Maduro loyalist, who has helped him maintain his regime for over a decade, has vented her fury at Trump’s capture of the despot, whom she called her nation’s rightful leader. Rodriguez, who also serves as minister for finance and oil, slammed Maduro’s arrest as ‘an atrocity that violates international law’ and called for his ‘immediate release’.
