When asked by reporters whether Trump trusts Rodriguez, the White House pointed to his remarks about having a, quote, very good talk with the interim leader before she met in Caracas with CIA Director John Ratcliffe.

Concerns about Rodriguez were raised by opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, who met with Trump at the White House last week.

Machado, when referring to Rodriguez, said the U.S.

justice system has sufficient information on her, and that's an important detail.

Much of the DEA's interest in Rodriguez is driven by its elite special operations division, notably the same unit that helped build the case against Maduro.

Shortly after Maduro's ouster, Trump warned that Rodriguez would, quote, pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro, if she fails to play ball with Washington.

All right.

Coming up in today's back of the brief, President Trump ramps up tariffs on Europe in a bid to force a deal on Greenland.

We'll have the details.

Hey, Mike Baker here.

Now, I've spent years working in difficult and challenging environments, right?

Long hours, tough terrain, no room for gear that you can't keep up.

That's why I trust and love Brunt Workwear.

Brunt, B-R-U-N-T, just like it sounds.

Brunt's Marin boots, as an example, are rugged, waterproof, and comfortable right out of the box.

And that's important.

There's no break-in needed.

And Brunt builds more than boots.

Work pants, jackets, all of it crafted to perform.

It's durable, reliable, mission-ready.
