Donald Trump is calling himself the "Acting President of Venezuela, Incumbent January 2026." Trump posted an image on his Truth Social account, which was styled like an edited Wikipedia page, displaying his official portrait and listing his tenure as both the 45th and 47th President of the United States. The post followed US' capture and removal of sitting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who was flown to New York along with his wife to face federal drug trafficking charges. Hours after the operation, Trump declared that the US would "run" Venezuela temporarily, citing security concerns and the need for a controlled transition. He also said the US would oversee and sell Venezuelan oil to global markets during this interim period. In Venezuela, Maduro's second-in-command, Delcy Rodriguez, took the oath as interim President. Rodriguez rejected US claims of authority, demanded Maduro's release, and declared him the nation's rightful leader.
