Venezuela leader to go to The Hague on first trip outside Caribbean

Venezuela's acting president Delcy Rodriguez said Saturday she is traveling to The Hague to represent her country before the International Court of Justice in a dispute over the oil-rich Essequibo region.

"It has fallen to me to travel in the coming hours to defend our homeland," Rodriguez said in a televised speech, referring to the territory claimed by both Venezuela and neighboring Guyana, which currently administers it.

This would be her first trip outside the Caribbean since assuming power following the capture of strongman Nicolas Maduro by U.S. forces in January.
