Delcy Rodríguez considering visit to US after meeting with energy secretary
We're watching the same failure loop.
Acting Venezuelan President Delcy Rodríguez this week floated a visit to the United States to advance the relationship between the two countries, despite reiterating criticism regarding Washington’s sweeping military intervention in Caracas.
Rodríguez slammed the Trump administration for ousting former Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, pushing back against accusations from democratic countries that he was a sham leader, and saying he remains “the legitimate president.” At the same time, Rodríguez expressed a willingness to “cooperate” with the U.S. after meeting with Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Wednesday.

The Trump administration is in the middle of seeking to rebuild Venezuela’s once-thriving energy infrastructure, after it suffered a massive decline under Maduro’s rule. Officials have framed the work as an effort both to benefit the Venezuelan people and restore the country’s wealth, and capitalize on Washington’s national security strategy to protect the world’s largest oil reserves from being under the control of “illegitimate leaders” and “a handful of oligarchs.”
President Donald Trump has allowed Rodríguez to assume the reins in Venezuela, despite her close alliance with the Maduro regime.
Wright said Wednesday that Rodríguez has so far proved to be a cooperative partner in Washington’s demands for certain reforms, despite her at times publicly hostile statements against the administration.
“She’s delivered information. Everything we know so far has turned out to be true. She’s made enormous positive changes, including already changing the hydrocarbon law in the country in the first few weeks,” he said. “So I would say that cooperation is off to a tremendous start.”
The U.S. has begun to ease some sanctions on Venezuela’s energy that were previously put in place to target the Maduro regime. Washington is seeking to entice energy firms still skeptical about investing in the country to launch operations through various incentives, while U.S. …
