Spanish journalist Emma Rincón stated on X that Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez will read tomorrow's edition of ABC newspaper, be surprised, and possibly sue again, according to a post by @alandete referencing @EmmaRincon during the reporting window from 3:46 a.m. to 5:15 a.m. UTC on January 26, 2026. Rincón's comment follows her earlier X post reporting U.S. Secretary Scott Bessent's statement that the United States is directing policies in Venezuela, with regime members administering the country under U.S. orders until free and fair elections, as detailed in the previous report ending at 3:46 a.m. UTC. Rodríguez stated earlier on January 26, "Enough of Washington's orders on politicians in Venezuela," according to an X post by @eduardomenoni cited in prior reporting from 12:46 a.m. to 2:46 a.m. UTC. The exchange occurs amid U.S. reports of planned intervention to capture Venezuelan leaders including Rodríguez over drug trafficking and political prisoner deaths, per @RNacional_News citing U.S. politicians, DEA, and CIA information in the same prior period.
