Diosdado Cabello

Diosdado Cabello is Venezuela's Interior Minister and a long-time ally of former President Nicolás Maduro. He is considered a powerful figure within the regime, often described as a hardliner. Cabello is newsworthy due to the recent US military operation that captured Maduro, creating a power vacuum and a period of transition in Venezuela. Reports indicate that US officials had been in communication with Cabello prior to and after Maduro's capture, warning him against using security forces or militant supporters to destabilize the situation. He is also reportedly accused by U.S. prosecutors of drug trafficking. With Delcy Rodríguez now serving as interim president, Cabello's position and future role are uncertain, making him a key figure to watch in the evolving political landscape of Venezuela.
