The court did not declare Maduro permanently absent from office, which would have meant that an election would have to be held within 30 days.
Rodríguez has said that she activated a decree that Maduro had approved, which means she de facto holds power in the country.
Trump claimed on Saturday that Rodríguez said she was willing to do whatever the United States deems necessary to make "Venezuela great again." Rodríguez herself has said that Venezuela will not allow itself to be colonized by another country, and that the country only has one president: Maduro.
According to US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, "President Trump will set the terms" for how Venezuela will be governed.
"It means the drugs stop flowing, it means the oil that was taken from us is returned and that criminals are not sent to the United States," Hegseth told CBS.
US President Donald Trump previously said that the United States will govern Venezuela until further notice.
According to Hegseth, both the United States and Venezuela can benefit from the US move.
"What happens next will be up to the Venezuelans to decide, but ultimately the United States will benefit in terms of security, and we believe the Venezuelan people can do so as well."
Trump has also said that he does not see María Corina Machado, who was awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for her fight for freedom and democracy in Venezuela, as a candidate to become the country's interim leader. She does not have "support or respect" in Venezuela, according to Trump.
