Venezuela's political landscape is heating up, and the relationship between Delcy Rodríguez and Donald Trump is showing signs of warming. Here are four indicators that Rodríguez is gaining momentum in this new clash: Personal Connection: Rodríguez has established a direct link with Trump, something Machado previously held. Trump's phone call with Rodríguez, where he praised her as a 'terrific person', signals a shift in dynamics. Legal Reforms: Rodríguez swiftly implemented changes to the Hydrocarbons Law, a move that could make Venezuela more attractive to investors. This action demonstrates her responsiveness to US interests. CIA Director's Visit: The welcoming of CIA Director John Ratcliffe to Caracas indicates a closer relationship between US intelligence and Venezuelan officials. Resumption of Deportations: The return of US deportation flights to Venezuela highlights the importance of this issue in Trump's agenda. As long as Rodríguez ensures these flights continue, she'll have a strong ally in Trump's circle.
