""The governments of Venezuela and the United States have set out to advance on a roadmap to address matters of bilateral interest, through diplomatic dialogue and on the basis of mutual respect and international law," a Venezuelan government statement said. The meeting at the Miraflores presidential palace focused on a shared agenda including energy, trade and political and economic issues, Foreign Minister Yvan Gil said."
"Dogu later posted on X that her talks with Rodriguez centered around Washington's framework for Venezuela of "stabilization, economic recovery, reconciliation and transition." Rodriguez was sworn in as the interim president last month after a US raid captured President Nicolas Maduro, triggering major political changes. Since her swearing-in, Venezuela's oil law has been reformed, and a number of political prisoners have been released."
"Last week, Rodriguez proposed a General Amnesty Bill that could see the release of hundreds of political prisoners, including opposition leaders, journalists and human rights activists. Rodriguez has said that she seeks balanced and respectful international relations with the US. Last month, US President Donald Trump said he had a "great conversation" with Rodriguez, whom he called a "terrific person." The two countries have since agreed on exports of up to $2 billion in Venezuelan crude to the US."
Venezuela and the United States have opened diplomatic talks aimed at restoring relations severed in 2019, focusing on energy, trade and political transition. Interim President Delcy Rodriguez met US envoy Laura Dogu and announced Felix Plasencia as Venezuela's diplomatic representative in Washington. The governments agreed to advance a roadmap on bilateral interests based on diplomatic dialogue, mutual respect and international law. Talks centered on stabilization, economic recovery, reconciliation and transition. Rodriguez assumed the interim presidency after a US raid captured President Nicolas Maduro, and has enacted oil law reforms and released some political prisoners. A proposed General Amnesty Bill could free hundreds more, while the countries agreed on up to $2 billion in crude exports.
