US EditionVenezuela’s acting president says she has had ‘enough’ of US orders
Acting President Delcy Rodríguez rejects US demands to prioritize oil production and foreign influence, asserting Venezuela’s sovereignty amid internal political divisions.
- On Sunday, Delcy Rodríguez said Venezuela would no longer accept Washington's orders while addressing oil workers in Puerto La Cruz, seeking unity after Nicolás Maduro's US capture.
- The White House has maintained steady pressure since Maduro and Cilia Flores were seized in early January, and days after US strikes the Trump administration demanded cutting ties with China, Iran, Russia and Cuba and exclusive oil partnership with the US.
- She has been walking a tight-rope, balancing Maduro loyalists and satisfying the White House after President Donald Trump claimed the US was 'going to run' Venezuela but later backed Delcy Rodríguez.
- Because oil is the main economic driver, Venezuela's extra-heavy crude reserves require complex refining but suit US refineries, and Rodríguez was expected to prioritize the Trump administration and US oil companies for future sales.
- Internally, the country remains divided among Maduro loyalists, left-wing opposition and Chavistas No-Maduristas, while Delcy Rodríguez has insisted in recent weeks that the US does not govern Venezuela and resisted its demands almost a month into her role.
