The US government lifted sanctions on Wednesday that had targeted Venezuela’s current interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, since 2018. “This lifting comes nearly three months after the January 3 military operation, during which the United States captured Nicolás Maduro and allowed Ms. Rodríguez to take the helm of the Venezuelan government,” notes Efecto Cocuyo. Since then, the interim president has “criticized Mr. Maduro’s capture, while declaring herself willing to maintain cooperative and respectful relations with the United States,” the website continues. Rodríguez welcomed the decision, seeing it as “a step toward normalizing and strengthening relations” between Caracas and Washington, and expressed her hope for the lifting of the remaining sanctions against her country. “The sanctions involved freezing Ms. Rodríguez’s assets in the United States and prohibiting American citizens from doing business with her,” the Venezuelan media outlet stated.

Reminder: Trump doesn’t do regime change. He just wants a cut in the corruption of dictatorships. Think as protection rackets.
