President Donald Trump this week hailed the improvement in relations with Venezuela under acting President Delcy Rodriguez, asserting that oil production had begun to improve due to her partnership with Washington.”Relations between Venezuela and the United States have been, to put it mildly, extraordinary!” Trump posted on Truth Social. “We are dealing very well with President Delcy Rodriguez, and her Representatives.”
“Oil is starting to flow, and large amounts of money, unseen for many years, will soon be greatly helping the people of Venezuela. Marco Rubio, and all of our Representatives, are doing a fantastic job,” he added.
Earlier this year, the Trump administration extracted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro from the country to face drug trafficking charges in New York.
Rodriguez has since assumed control and the Trump administration has hoped to encourage a peaceful transition of power, though the timeframe for doing so remains ambiguous.
