Delsy Rodríguez, the interim president of Venezuela, has announced that she has been invited to the United States following an interview released by NBC News as US Energy Secretary Chris Wright visited Caracas. She expressed a keen interest in travelling to the US once a collaboration is established and they can advance with ongoing efforts. Rodríguez, a former vice president and oil minister, took on the role of interim president in January after Nicolás Maduro was apprehended by US authorities.

Rodríguez's remarks come at a critical time when she and Wright are tasked with the challenge of reorganizing Venezuela's oil industry, which has suffered from decades of underinvestment, mismanagement, and US sanctions. Their efforts will aim to position American investors at the forefront of the industry to revitalize Venezuela’s economy. The oil sector is crucial for strengthening the nation’s financial stability, and Rodríguez is looking to establish new partnerships that could potentially overturn past economic limitations.

Despite these developments, Rodríguez referred to Nicolás Maduro as the "legitimate president." This statement emphasizes the ongoing political complexities in Venezuela, especially as Maduro is currently detained in the US on charges related to narcotics trafficking. The situation highlights the dichotomy between the interim government led by Rodríguez and the Maduro administration, posing questions about the future political landscape and governance in Venezuela as the country navigates these external and internal pressures.
