WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has said that he expects Venezuela’s authorized President Delcy Rodriguez to visit the United States and that he plans to pay a visit to that country too.
"I think she's going to come, you know, eventually she's going to <...> not quite yet, but eventually she'll come and I'll go to their country too," he said in an interview with Reuters.
"She's been very good to deal with," the US leader warned.
Earlier in the day, Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform that he had had "a very good call" with Rodriguez. "We are making tremendous progress, as we help Venezuela stabilize and recover. Many topics were discussed, including Oil, Minerals, Trade and, of course, National Security," he wrote.
In early January, the US launched airstrikes targeting civilian and military sites in Venezuela. President Trump confirmed that these strikes aimed to capture and remove Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, from power. Subsequently, on January 5, Maduro and Flores appeared in federal court in the Southern District of New York, where they were charged with drug trafficking. Both pleaded not guilty. Meanwhile, Rodriguez, who previously served as Maduro's vice president, is now acting as the de facto head of state in Venezuela amid these developments. Meanwhile, Trump has said that Washington would "run" Venezuela in the interim.
