Venezuela’s Delcy Rodríguez rejects Trump claim, says she leads government: Video

Venezuela’s acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, insisted Monday, January 12, that she remains the legitimate head of the Venezuelan government, rejecting claims spurred by a social media post from U.S. President Donald Trump.

Rodríguez’s remarks came during an event marking the start of Venezuela’s second school term in Caracas just days after Trump published a digitally altered image purporting to show him as the “acting president of Venezuela” on a Wikipedia-style page, a designation that does not exist on the actual Wikipedia entry and carries no official legal weight.
