Venezuelan diplomatic sources consulted by EFE confirmed that the conversation took place this Wednesday and was “very extensive and very good” and with an “excellent” tone between both leaders, who are already working to rehabilitate the formal diplomatic channels that have been broken for years.
Trump spoke with Rodríguez a day before receiving Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado at the White House, who has currently been excluded by the United States from the transition in Venezuela.
Delcy Rodríguez, who was vice president under Nicolás Maduro, took office after US special forces captured the Chavista leader and his wife, Cilia Flores, on January 3 in Caracas and took them to New York to be tried for drug trafficking.
Trump maintains that the United States maintains tutelage over the Venezuelan government and has announced agreements to receive millions of barrels of Venezuelan crude oil.
Rodríguez reported this Wednesday that in recent days 406 political prisoners have been released in the country and that the release process “remains open.”
The president in charge gave these statements together with her brother, the chief negotiator of the Venezuelan Government, Jorge Rodríguez, and the Minister of the Interior, Diosdado Cabello.
