The acting president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, said this Wednesday that she has «no fear whatsoever» in facing differences with the United States and reiterated that she is in a dialogue process with the Donald Trump administration, more than two weeks after the military attack that ended with the capture of President Nicolás Maduro. «We are in a process of dialogue, of work, with the United States, without any fear of facing the differences, the difficulties, the most sensitive and the least sensitive, to face them through diplomacy,» the head of state indicated in a meeting of the Federal Government Council in which governors and mayors participated, broadcast on the state channel Venezolana de Televisión. Rodríguez, who served as vice president, assumed the position as head of the Executive after being summoned by the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ), following the attacks by the U.S. The U.S. will commercialize up to 50 million barrels of Venezuelan crude and manage the revenues before transferring them to the South American country. Leavitt stated then that the Delcy Rodríguez acting government has fulfilled «all the demands and requests» of the Trump administration. On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he requested «full access» to Venezuela's oil resources, while his Energy Secretary, Chris Wright, assured that the U.S. will control the sale of the South American country's crude for an «indefinite» period. On Tuesday, Rodríguez announced the entry of 300 million dollars into the South American country «as a result of the sale of oil,» days after the White House announced an agreement for the sale of crude in Venezuela for 500 million dollars. According to her, these revenues will be aimed at «covering and financing» the entry of workers, as well as «protecting them from inflation» and the «negative impact of fluctuations in the foreign exchange market».
