Venezuela’s Vice President Delcy Rodriguez has confirmed a recent phone conversation with U.S. Senator Marco Rubio following devastating earthquakes that struck the country. The earthquakes, a pair of tremors, resulted in the deaths of at least 32 people. Rodriguez stated the discussion centered on potential humanitarian assistance for those affected by the natural disaster. While political relations between Venezuela and the United States remain strained, the call signals a rare instance of direct communication regarding a crisis. Details of the specific aid discussed were not immediately released by either party. The earthquakes have prompted a national emergency response in Venezuela, with ongoing efforts to locate survivors and provide relief to impacted communities. This communication represents a potential, albeit limited, opening for cooperation amid ongoing political tensions.
