In January 2026, the White Houseās "Absolute Resolve" mission to oust the Chavista regime has met a wall of institutional defiance.

Instead, the Supreme Court immediately swore in Delcy RodrĆguez, and the military high command has publicly renewed its pledge of loyalty to the existing government. Despite Trumpās claim that the U.S. will "run" the country, Caracas remains firmly under the control of Maduroās hand-picked successors.
