A high-ranking US official has announced that Venezuela's interim president, Delcy Rodriguez, will soon visit the United States, although a specific date has not yet been set. Rodriguez will be the first female Venezuelan president to visit the US in over 25 years, excluding heads of state who attended United Nations meetings in New York. This invitation reflects a sudden shift in relations between Washington and Caracas since US special forces conducted an operation that led to the arrest of President Nicolas Maduro and his transfer to an American prison to face drug trafficking charges. Rodriguez, who was Maduro's vice president and a prominent figure in the anti-US Venezuelan government, changed her course after assuming the interim presidency.
