US lifts sanctions on Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodríguez
WASHINGTON: The US on Wednesday lifted sanctions on Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodríguez, according to an Office of Foreign Assets Control entry on the Treasury Department website.
The newly announced sanctions relief is the latest US recognition of Rodríguez as a legitimate authority in Venezuela ever since the US military captured her predecessor, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife on Jan. 3 in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas.
The pair have since been taken to New York to face drug trafficking charges and both have pleaded not guilty.
