US EditionReport: Delcy Rodríguez offered WH cooperation once Maduro detained
Delcy Rodríguez and her brother engaged in secret talks with the U.S. months before Maduro's capture to ensure political stability and prevent institutional collapse, sources say.
- In early January, US forces seized Nicolás Maduro in Caracas and on January 5, Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as interim president.
- Behind the scenes, months of discreet conversations through intermediaries and foreign governments reassured the Trump administration it could avoid institutional collapse after Maduro's removal.
- Sources say Rodríguez told interlocutors she and Jorge Rodríguez pledged cooperation post-Maduro but did not agree to help remove him, aiming to stabilise the country and avoid lawlessness.
- Senior US envoys and officials moved quickly, with John Ratcliffe, CIA Director, meeting Rodríguez to rebuild trust and discuss security and cooperation, following the appointment of Laura Dogu as top US envoy for Venezuela.
- Beyond security talks, Doha's involvement and the reform pitch included Rodríguez proposing oil-sector reforms permitting foreign investment without PDVSA majority control, aided by Qatar's ties.
