"We value President Donald Trump's decision as a step toward normalizing and strengthening relations between our countries. We trust that this progress will allow for the lifting of current sanctions against our country, enabling us to build and guarantee an effective bilateral cooperation agenda for the benefit of our people."
"Maduro has given Delcy Eloina Rodriguez Gomez and Jorge Jesus Rodriguez Gomez senior positions within the Venezuelan government to help him maintain power and solidify his authoritarian rule."
The U.S. has lifted sanctions on Delcy Rodriguez, the acting President of Venezuela, acknowledging her as a legitimate authority. This decision follows the capture of her predecessor, Nicolas Maduro, who faces drug trafficking charges. The sanctions relief allows Rodriguez to engage more freely with U.S. companies and investors. In her statement, Rodriguez expressed optimism for improved U.S.-Venezuela relations and the potential for lifting further sanctions to foster bilateral cooperation. Rodriguez and her brother were previously sanctioned for undermining democracy in Venezuela.
