The U.S. is pressuring Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello to cooperate with Interim President Delcy Rodriguez following Nicolas Maduro's capture. Officials aim to prevent chaos and instability, viewing Cabello as both necessary for order and a potential spoiler due to his control over security forces and rivalry with Rodriguez. The U.S. has warned Cabello of consequences similar to Maduro's fate if he is defiant. Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino is also a target, with U.S. officials seeking his cooperation to maintain stability and avoid a power vacuum, while acknowledging risks associated with removing Cabello, such as inciting colectivos.
