Trump Administration Sets Conditions for Venezuela’s Interim President
The government of Donald Trump, the current president of the United States, has laid out conditions for Delcy Rodríguez, Venezuela’s interim president and successor to Nicolás Maduro, following recent developments in the country. According to American media reports, Washington expects the interim government of Venezuela to implement fundamental changes in its economic and security policies.
The newspaper Politico, citing government sources, reported that the United States has requested Rodríguez to halt the sale of Venezuelan oil to countries considered adversaries by Washington. Oil, as the primary source of revenue for this Latin American nation, plays a key role in Venezuela’s political and economic dynamics.
The report further states that the U.S. government is seeking to reduce the influence of foreign actors and networks perceived by Washington as misaligned with its interests. Additionally, the interim president of Venezuela has been asked to take specific measures to combat drug trafficking.
These demands come amid the recent U.S. military intervention in Venezuela and the detention of the country’s legal president, which have sparked widespread international criticism and backlash. Several countries, as well as some U.S. senators, have condemned the action as a violation of international law and warned of its potential consequences.
