U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed intentions to visit Venezuela, indicating a shift in U.S.-Venezuelan relations. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump commended the interim President of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, claiming that the current relationship is '10 out of 10.' He emphasized that both governments are collaborating closely on issues related to oil, a vital sector for Venezuela's economy.

During his remarks, Trump acknowledged that he officially recognizes Rodríguez as the legitimate government representative, reflecting a significant diplomatic stance from the United States amidst the ongoing political crisis in Venezuela. This recognition could potentially alter the dynamics of U.S. foreign policy towards Venezuela, especially in light of the previous sanctions and opposition to Nicolás Maduro's regime.

The announcement comes at a time when U.S.-Venezuelan relations may be entering a new phase, with Trump suggesting that current engagement could pave the way for further cooperation in other areas. Analysts suggest that this change could have major implications for the regional political landscape, particularly regarding U.S. energy policy and its impact on Latin America.
