Interim President Delcy Rodriguez has said she is willing to cooperate with the United States on the future of Venezuela, in a significant shift in tone from the immediate aftermath of a military operation leading to the abduction of leader Nicolas Maduro by US special forces.

“We consider it a priority to move towards a balanced and respectful relationship between the US and Venezuela,” Rodriguez wrote on Telegram on Sunday.

"We extend an invitation to the US government to work together on an agenda for cooperation that is aimed towards shared development,” she continued.

In a televised address on Saturday, Rodriguez denounced the US actions as “an atrocity that violates international law”, insisting that “the only president of Venezuela [is] President Nicolas Maduro.”

    Different person this is Maduro’s vice president not the exiled opposition Gonzalez (the latter of which won the Nobel prize and the popular vote).
