US Officials Warn Diosdado Cabello He Could Be Next to Fall
In a move that signals growing unease with Diosdado Cabello's defiant stance, US officials have reportedly warned the Venezuelan hardline interior minister he could be next in line to face the fate of his ousted predecessor Nicolás Maduro. Cabello, seen by many as the regime's real No 2, has been struggling to maintain control over Venezuela's crumbling government following the recent power vacuum.
According to sources, US officials are "especially concerned" that Cabello could sabotage Washington's plan to keep key figures from Maduro's inner circle in place. This strategy aims to establish stability while pursuing a transition and allowing for unrestricted access to Venezuela's oil reserves, which are crucial for the country's economic survival.
Cabello has been openly displaying his loyalty to Delcy Rodríguez, the acting president who has taken over since Maduro's capture. However, his actions have sparked concerns among US officials that he may be seen as a threat to Washington's plans. By issuing these warnings, the Trump administration is signaling its intent to enforce stability and maintain control over Venezuela's key sectors.
Cabello's past history of rivalry with Rodríguez and her brother, Jorge Rodríguez, has not helped his situation. His role in human rights abuses under Maduro's regime has further raised questions about his credibility and loyalty. As the US continues to exert pressure on Cabello, it remains to be seen how he will respond.
With tensions running high, Venezuela's opposition leader Maria Corina Machado has vowed to return to the country as soon as possible. She expects new elections to be called quickly, with her party predicting a landslide victory in the upcoming polls.
The US has taken several steps to assert its influence over Venezuela, including seizing oil tankers and enforcing a blockade on vessels transporting illicitly obtained oil. However, Cabello's defiance suggests that Washington may face an uphill battle in maintaining control over the country.
As the situation unfolds, one thing is clear: the fate of Diosdado Cabello will serve as a bellwether for Venezuela's future under US influence. Will he be able to adapt and maintain stability, or will his resistance ultimately prove futile? Only time will tell.
