Newsday

Available for 15 days

Delcy Rodríguez is sworn in as Venezuela's interim president in a parliamentary session that began with demands for the release from US custody of ousted leader Nicolás Maduro. Donald Trump sends a warning to Colombia's president Gustavo Petro whom he accuses of "making and selling drugs to the United States." We'll speak to a Colombian diplomat on that escalating war of words. And we'll tell you how tech companies are now on a race to build the most powerful computers.
