Washington. US President Donald Trump has said that America has given official recognition to the current government of Venezuela. Trump has announced this when the US Army invaded Venezuela in January and kidnapped its President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores. The US has accused Maduro of narco-terrorism and he is awaiting trial in New York. Trump has said that I am pleased to say that this week, we have officially recognized the Venezuelan government. We have actually recognized them legally.
Let us tell you that after the capture of Maduro, the Supreme Court of Venezuela temporarily transferred the duty of Head of State to Vice President Delcy Rodriguez, who was officially sworn in as the acting President on January 5. The United States and Venezuela have since taken several steps to improve their long-strained relations. A few days ago, Trump had praised Venezuela’s interim President Delsey Rodriguez. He said that Delsey Rodriguez is doing very good work in Venezuela. She is cooperating very well with the American representatives. Oil production has started and it is great to see the professionalism and dedication between the two countries.
According to media reports, US Home Minister Doug Burgum recently visited Venezuela. He talked to interim President Delsey Rodriguez about promoting oil and mining operations in Venezuela. At the same time, at the end of January, the US Finance Ministry authorized transactions related to drilling, purchase, sale and export of Venezuelan oil for entities registered in the US. In February, US Energy Secretary Chris Wright traveled to Venezuela to conduct a first-hand assessment of oil infrastructure as well as oil and gas production operations.
