President Donald Trump warned that Venezuela’s interim leader Delcy Rodríguez could face consequences if she doesn’t “do what’s right” after the United States captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.

Trump said Sunday the interim leader could also suffer a fate similar to Maduro, who is being detained in a federal prison in the New York City borough of Brooklyn on a range of charges, including narco-terrorism and drug trafficking.
