US President Donald Trump has threatened Venezuela's interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, saying that if she fails to comply with Washington's demands, she will "pay a very big price". The warning came after Rodríguez vowed fealty to the ousted President Nicolás Maduro.
A 15,000-strong US military force remains in the Caribbean as a precautionary measure. Trump hinted at another possible invasion, although he downplayed this suggestion later on.
The situation is precarious, with citizens stocking up on basic supplies due to fears of further attacks. Many are anxious about the future and potential repercussions for their country.
Senior officials from Maduro's government called for his return but expressed support for Rodríguez as a stand-in leader. The Venezuelan people also rallied around the ousted president in a show of solidarity.

, like what's going on with these guys? Trump's all up in Venezuela's grill and now they're threatening Delcy? that's just gonna escalate things and put innocent lives at risk 
. I don't get why we need 15k troops in the Caribbean, it's not like they're gonna invade or something... but I guess you never know 
. What's really concerning is how the Venezuelan people are being affected by all this drama - I mean, can you blame them for stocking up on basic supplies and getting anxious about their country's future? 
it's like we're watching a huge soap opera unfold over here and nobody's happy 
.
anyway, it's not all bad news - the venezuelans are coming together which is awesome! they should be proud of themselves for showing unity and support for their leader even though maduro's out 
meanwhile, trump's military force is just a big show off 
shouldn't they be using that money to fix some stuff instead of threatening people? 
I mean, I know Maduro and Rodríguez have their differences, but come on... 15,000 troops in the Caribbean? That's like, a whole army of soldiers just chillin' over there. 
What's next? Are we gonna see some sort of invasion? It's all so unpredictable right now.
. The Venezuelan people seem pretty united behind Maduro, though... that's good to see. 
On the other hand, it's weird how Trump is basically saying he'll 'pay a very big price' if she doesn't comply... like, what does that even mean? 
Is there gonna be some kind of economic blockage or something?
. We should all be rooting for the Venezuelan people to figure things out on their own terms 
... Trump's threats are super concerning, what if this is just another attempt to invade? I mean, 15k troops in the Caribbean is already a massive presence... it feels like we're setting up for a disaster 
.
. The Venezuelan people deserve better than to be used as pawns in a game of global politics.
. And yet at the same time, Rodríguez is getting slammed by Trump, but people are still showing solidarity with her... maybe she's not as bad as everyone makes her out to be 
OMG, this situation is SO tense! Like, I'm literally holding my breath thinking about what might happen next 
Meanwhile, 15,000 soldiers in the Caribbean? That's like, a whole lotta firepower 
The uncertainty is killing me! 
But hey, one thing's for sure - we've got to be thinking of all those beautiful Venezuelan people 
and wish them peace and stability 
Can't wait to see what the future holds (and hopefully it's bright!) 
, it's a reminder that there's still so much love and loyalty in Venezuela.
. Fingers crossed that Rodríguez can find a way to navigate this mess without losing anyone else 
.
let's all try to stay calm and think about the consequences 
I just hope everyone stays safe and that someone can talk some sense into Trump about this mess he's made.
meanwhile, the us military presence in the caribbean is like, super unsettling - who knows what their real motives are? 
... it's not exactly reassuring.
. It's wild how one wrong move can escalate this situation into a full-blown crisis. I hope for everyone's sake, including Rodríguez, that there's some kinda diplomatic solution soon 
. Can't we all just get along? 
the whole thing is just so... unstable. Like 15k-strong US military force in the Caribbean? That's insane! 
gotta hope that somehow this all blows over and they can get some stability back in their country
