Trump Holds Good Coversation with Delcy Rodríguez

Trump and interim president Delcy Rodríguez discussed oil, minerals, trade, and security, with a $500 million initial crude sale brokered by the White House.

  • On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump said he held a long call with Delcy Rodríguez, the first contact since Maduro's ouster, calling her an effective interlocutor.
  • Following Maduro's capture on January 3, Trump said he would let Delcy Rodríguez lead if she granted U.S. access to Venezuelan oil, discussing a bilateral work agenda.
  • The White House announced Trump brokered U.S.-overseen sales of Venezuelan crude, beginning with a 500 million dollar sale and additional sales expected in the coming days and weeks.
  • Under Washington's pressure, Venezuela released 17 journalists quietly at a shopping mall, while Rodríguez claimed 406 political prisoners had been freed since December, a figure disputed by Foro Penal and AFP.
  • With the U.S. asserting control over oil sales, US President Donald Trump suggested long-term oversight and wrote Venezuela would be great again, saying `We are making tremendous progress`.
