Delcy Rodriguez's compliance with US demands has drawn lavish praise from Donald Trump, who had once threatened Venezuela with violence.
Writing on his Truth Social account on Wednesday, March 4, he said the interim president was "doing a great job and working with US Representatives very well."
"The Oil is beginning to flow, and the professionalism and dedication between both Countries is a very nice thing to see," he wrote.
Rodriguez, for her part, thanked Trump on Telegram for his administration's "kind willingness to work together for the benefit of the people of the United States and Venezuela."
