Venezuela - Interim President Delcy Rodriguez has publicly rejected U.S. interference in the country’s internal politics. After signing oil agreements with Washington, Rodriguez demanded the end of external orders, urging Venezuelan politicians to resolve their own disputes. The statement comes after the U.S. military operation that captured former President Nicolás Maduro in Caracas and the subsequent U.S. detention of Maduro. President Trump has said Washington intends to ‘dictate’ Venezuelan decisions, prompting Rodriguez to emphasize national sovereignty. She also announced reforms to the hydrocarbons sector, released political prisoners, and reached out to opposition groups. The move marks a shift from close U.S. cooperation to a push for internal autonomy.
