馬杜洛本來不用下台？外媒揭露：川普多次提石油協議和談，結果遭其「大跳」嘲笑
張瑞邦 Tucker Chang 2026-01-07 13:28:00 CST《華爾街日報》揭露，直接派兵捉捕馬杜洛並非川普最初劇本。在馬杜洛遭逮半年前，川普頂著盧比歐的反對，希望以「石油協議」與委國和談，甚至願意豁免馬杜洛所有毒品指控、保全其家人的財產。馬杜洛不僅拒絕，還在多個公開場合跳舞，被川普視為挑釁行為
The Venezuelan opposition leader #María #Corina #Machado has
💥vowed to return to the country as soon as possible and rejected the authority of the interim president backed – for now – by the US after it forcibly removed Nicolás Maduro from power.
Machado told Fox News from an undisclosed location that her movement was ready to win a free #election, and praised Donald Trump for toppling Maduro.
Many in Venezuela and abroad had expected Machado to take charge of the country after Maduro’s detention on Saturday
-- but Trump sidelined her and gave his backing to Maduro’s former vice-president, #Delcy #Rodríguez.
“I’m planning to go back to Venezuela as soon as possible,”
Machado said in the interview.
“We believe that this transition should move forward.
We won an election [in 2024] by a landslide under fraudulent conditions.
In free and fair elections, we will win over 90% of the votes.”
⚠️She accused Rodríguez of being “one of the main architects of torture, persecution, corruption, narco-trafficking” in Venezuela and said repression had increased since the weekend.
The industrial engineer, 58, also said 👉she had not spoken to Trump since 10 October, the day it was announced that she had won the Nobel peace prize.
“But I do want to say today, on behalf of the Venezuelan people,
how grateful we are for his courageous vision,
the actions – historical actions – he has taken against this narco-terrorist regime, to start dismantling this structure and bringing Maduro to justice,” she said.
The Wall Street Journal reportedthat Trump had decided to back Rodríguez after CIA analysts briefed him that Machado and her electoral candidate. -- the retired diplomat #Edmundo #González #Urrutia, “would struggle to gain legitimacy as leaders while facing resistance from pro-regime security services, drug-trafficking networks and political opponents”.
The Washington Post, however, reported the decision may have been more personal -- that Trump may have been irritated that Machado accepted the prize.
“If she had turned it down and said: ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’
she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” a source told the paper.
Asked by Fox News whether she had offered to give Trump the prize, Machado said:
“It hasn’t happened yet,
but I would certainly love to be able to personally tell him that we believe the Venezuelan people – because this is a prize of the Venezuelan people – certainly want to give it to him and share it with him.”
Trump has said he wants to work with Rodríguez and the rest of Maduro’s former team -- provided they submit to US demands on oil.
He has poured cold water on the idea that a vote could be held within the next 30 days.
Venezuela’s rulers have deployed #armed #militias to patrol streets, operate checkpoints and check people’s phones in a crackdown to consolidate authority after the US attack on Caracas.
Paramilitary groups known as #colectivos criss-crossed the capital with motorbikes and assault rifles on Tuesday in a show of force to stifle any dissent or perception of a power vacuum.
🔸The patrols stopped and searched cars and
🔥demanded access to people’s phones to check their contacts, messages and social media posts
in a stark demonstration to the population that the regime remained in charge despite the abduction of president Nicolás Maduro.
🔸Anyone who was suspected of supporting Saturday’s US raid was liable for arrest, said Mirelvis Escalona, 40, a resident in the western Caracas neighbourhood of Catia.
🔥“There’s fear. There are armed civilians here. You never know what might happen, they might attack people.”
A semblance of normality returned to much of the city, with shops and bakeries reopening and people going to work – but uncertainty over what will happen next created a febrile mood.
The interim president, #Delcy #Rodríguez, has sought to project a sense of calm and control since being sworn in on Monday -- but there was no disguising the government’s shock and jitteriness.
On Tuesday, Rodríguez appeared to harden her tone against the US, saying in a televised address that
⭐️“no external agent governs Venezuela”
– a clear rebuttal to Donald Trump’s claim that the US was running the South American country.
It marked another shift in tone from Maduro’s former vice-president who released a conciliatory statement late on Sunday in which she “invited the US government to work together on an agenda of cooperation”.
In addition to the humiliation of Maduro’s appearance in a New York court on narco-trafficking charges,
authorities in Caracas face the risk of a fresh US attack, economic collapse, internal regime fracture and the return of overseas-based opposition leaders.
🔸Gunfire erupted on Monday night when security forces shot at unauthorised drones which reportedly were mistaken for another US operation.
“There was no confrontation, the entire country remains completely calm,” Simon Arrechider, the deputy information minister, told reporters.
But it is a tense calm.
On Monday at least 14 #journalists and media employees, including 13 members of international media organisations, were detained in Caracas. All but one were later released.
An emergency decree has sought to stamp out any public celebration of Maduro’s ouster
and ordered police to seek and
🔥detain “everyone involved in the promotion or support for the armed attack by the United States”.
Footage posted on social media showed colectivos – some wearing masks – blocking highways, roving pro-opposition neighbourhoods and questioning residents, prompting people to warn friends and family via WhatsApp and other platforms 💥to leave phones at home or to scrub them of political content.

習近平可以綁架賴清德嗎？BBC分析：川普抓捕馬杜洛可能為全球威權國家樹立先例
BBC News 中文 2026-01-06 16:00:00 CST如果美國主張有權使用武力入侵並抓捕其指控犯罪行為的外國領導人，那麼什麼能阻止中國聲稱有同樣權力對台灣領導層採取行動？什麼能阻止普亭以類似理由綁架烏克蘭總統？一旦這條界線被跨越，約束全球混亂的規則將開始崩潰，而專制政權將率先利用這一點。

EL PAÍS - #Delcy #Rodríguez, entre la supervivencia del #régimen #chavista y una #transición
#Delcy Rodríguez "put on a display of force & unity in a live address to the nation, sitting w/ powerful military officials and other key government leaders as she denounced the US. As she introduced each figure on live tv, they nodded toward her in a show of deference as she demanded that #Maduro was the rightful president of #Venezuela. The display of force & unity undermined Pres. Trump’s earlier comments that Washington would work with Rodríguez to run Venezuela.
Trump has claimed at the press conference now under way in Florida that the United States is going to run Venezuela for the time being -- although it’s unclear how that would be done.
“We’re going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,” Trump said.
He has given no details.
He just called Maduro a dictator and a drug kingpin
Trump said his secretary of state, #Marco #Rubio, has talked with the Venezuelan vice president, #Delcy #Rodriguez, today and mentions that she agreed to work with the US.
The US president said 👉 she has already been sworn in as president.
A few hours ago there were reports that she was in Russia,
so the situation remains unclear at this moment and the press conference question and answer session with Trump is now bouncing around various semi-related topics.
As fragments of fact, as opposed to pure rhetoric and vague statements, come through we’ll piece them together.
“She’s, I guess, the president. She had a long conversation with Marco and said we’ll do what you need. She had no choice,”
Trump just said, of Rodriguez.
