Venezuela's interim government denied reports that Diosdado Cabello, a senior figure in the ruling regime, held secret talks with U.S. officials, calling the claims "false and malicious" and accusing unnamed actors of trying to sow divisions within the country's leadership.
In a statement posted on the interim administration's new rapid-fire X account, the government rejected what it described as "malicious information published on social media" alleging covert, conspiratorial conversations between Cabello and officials from the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. The statement said the reports were intended to undermine Cabello's standing and fracture political leadership.
