US Lifts Sanctions on Venezuela’s Interim Leader Delcy Rodríguez, Paving Way for Renewed Cooperation

On April 1, the US removed Delcy Rodríguez from its Treasury sanctions list. Rodríguez took charge after a January operation ousted Nicolás Maduro. The delisting marks a significant shift in Washington’s stance. Rodríguez called the move a step toward healing bilateral ties.
