The latest issue of *Time* magazine features Venezuelan official Delcy Rodríguez on its cover alongside Donald Trump and Marco Rubio, highlighting a surprising turn of events. Once a staunch defender of Nicolás Maduro, Rodríguez now appears as a representative engaging with the U.S. government. The magazine publishes an extensive interview where she justifies the burgeoning relationship with the United States. This development follows years of strained relations between Washington and Caracas. However, opposition leader María Corina Machado cautions that any stability achieved through these negotiations will only be lasting with democratic legitimacy. The cover symbolizes a significant shift in Venezuelan politics and the evolving dynamics within the region.
