US Lifts Sanctions on Venezuela's Rodriguez

0:00On April 1st, the United States lifted sanctions on Venezuela's interim president Del Sea Rodriguez this week. This move happened less than three months after U.S. forces captured Nicolas Maduro during a raid on January 3rd. The Trump administration has started working closely with Rodriguez's government. She's a former Maduro ally, and they've inked a deal for America to purchase Venezuelan oil while issuing waivers to draw in U.S. investments. Venezuela's arrest followed months of rising tensions between the nations and sparked major shifts inside Venezuela. Now he's facing drug trafficking charges in New York, alongside his wife Siliah Flores. Venezuela's communications ministry has stayed silent so far on the sanctions removal. With these diplomatic turns heating up, eyes stay glued on how U.S. Venezuela ties unfold from here. This has been Global News Today, powered by AI.
