Venezuela's Acting President Seeks US Cooperation After Maduro's Capture

• Venezuela's acting president, Delcy Rodriguez, offered US cooperation for "shared development" after Nicolas Maduro's capture, a shift from earlier criticism.
• Maduro is scheduled to appear in a New York federal court on Monday, facing narco-terrorism charges from 2020, updated to include his wife Cilia Flores.
• President Donald Trump linked the capture to criminal charges, Venezuelan immigration, and nationalized US oil interests, aiming to "take back what they stole" and rebuild the oil industry.
• Maduro is accused of directing cocaine trafficking routes, using the military to protect shipments, and sheltering violent groups like the Sinaloa Cartel and Tren de Aragua.
• The capture's legality is questioned by many nations and the UN, with China calling it a violation of international law and a dangerous precedent.
