Acting Venezuelan President Delcy Rodríguez this week floated a visit to the United States to advance the relationship between the two countries, despite reiterating criticism regarding Washington’s sweeping military intervention in Caracas.

Rodríguez slammed the Trump administration for ousting former Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, pushing back against accusations from democratic countries that he was a sham leader, and saying he remains “the legitimate president.” At the same time, Rodríguez expressed a willingness to “cooperate” with the U.S. after meeting with Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Wednesday.
