The European Commission has framed the removal of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro as an "opportunity for a democratic transition" that should be led by the Venezuelan people, rather than by Maduro's immediate successor, Delcy Rodríguez.
That stance puts the bloc at odds with United States President Donald Trump, who has claimed he is "in charge" of Venezuela and wants "total access" to the country's valuable oil reserves following Saturday's military intervention.
