Venezuela’s Executive Vice President, Delcy Rodríguez, stated that the detention of a high-ranking Venezuelan official—presumably referring to Alex Saab—marked a turning point in relations with the United States. Speaking almost six months into her interim leadership role, Rodríguez advocated for dialogue as the “correct path” to resolve disputes. She believes this approach is crucial for easing historical tensions between the two countries. The statement suggests a potential willingness from the Venezuelan government to engage in negotiations with the US. While details of the detention’s impact remain unclear, Rodríguez’s comments indicate a perceived shift in the dynamic. This comes amid ongoing complex and often adversarial relations between Washington and Caracas. The official’s remarks were made in a recent public statement, as reported by EL NACIONAL.
