'Secret meetings' point to inside job by Venezuela's vice-president to hand Maduro over to US
"She's essentially willing to do what we think is necessary to make Venezuela great again."
"Ms Rodriguez would be offering "Madurismo without Maduro," a kind of "Regime Lite"."
"absolutely certain"
"bridge"
A senior UAE royal acted as a bridge between the Venezuelan regime and Donald Trump as he assembled an armada to pressure Nicolás Maduro. Maduro took no part in secret Doha meetings; vice-president Delcy Rodríguez and her brother Jorge led the talks. Rodríguez reached out to Washington offering a more acceptable alternative and proposed 'Madurismo without Maduro' — a 'Regime Lite' to manage transition without dismantling the state. Trump indicated the US would 'run' Venezuela through a transition government led by Rodríguez while US oil companies prepare to extract. Colombia's former vice-president said he is 'absolutely certain' she betrayed Maduro.
