Venezuela’s interim president Delcy Rodriguez insisted Thursday her country was not “subjugated,” despite US President Donald Trump’s claim to be in charge there after removing her predecessor Nicolas Maduro.

“We are not subordinate or subjugated,” Rodriguez said during a ceremony for the 100 Venezuelans that her government says were killed during the US assault.

“Nobody surrendered. There was fighting for the homeland” when the US forces attacked on January 3, she said.
