Rodriguez said that Venezuela will “prioritize” the transition to “balanced and respectful international relations” with the United States and the region.
Direct speech Rodriguez in a direct address to Trump: “President Donald Trump, our peoples and our region deserve peace and dialogue, not war. This has always been the message of President Nicolás Maduro, and now it is the message of all of Venezuela.”
“Venezuela has the right to peace, development, sovereignty and a future.”
Details: CNN says the latest comments are a change of tone from earlier statements in which she condemned the “brutal use of force” by the United States to oust dictator Nicolás Maduro.
What preceded: Trump’s address to Rodriguez contrasted with the praise he gave her on Jan. 3, hours after Maduro’s capture. At the time, Trump said at a press conference that Rodriguez had privately expressed a willingness to work with the United States, which Trump said would temporarily “manage” her country.
“She’s basically ready to do what we think is necessary to make Venezuela great again,” he said on January 3.
Rodriguez immediately rejected the offer, saying the country was “ready to defend its natural resources” and that the nation’s defense remained ready to implement the policies of Maduro, whose return she demanded. “We will never be a colony again,” she said.
On Sunday, Trump threatened Rodriguez that she could pay a “very high price” if she “doesn’t do what needs to be done.”
Trump also said that in the short term, he needs the Vice President of Venezuela, who is entrusted with the duties of the head of state, Delsey Rodríguez to give the United States “full access” to resources.
