Venezuelan Leader Delcy Rodríguez Rejects U.S. Orders Amid Political Turmoil

Delcy Rodríguez, the acting president of Venezuela, declared on Sunday that she has had 'enough' of U.S. directives while attempting to unify the country following the capture of former leader Nicolás Maduro by U.S. authorities. This statement comes nearly a month into her interim leadership, during which she has been balancing the expectations of both Maduro's loyalists and the U.S. government. Rodríguez emphasized the need for Venezuelan politics to resolve internal conflicts without foreign interference. The U.S. has been pressuring Venezuela to resume oil production and has outlined demands for the country to sever ties with nations like China and Russia. The situation remains complex as Venezuela grapples with internal divisions among Maduro supporters and other factions.

Key Details: • Rodríguez made her remarks during an event in Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela. • The U.S. captured Maduro in early January, leading to increased pressure on Venezuela. • Rodríguez has been urged to prioritize U.S. interests in future oil sales.
