Caracas:
Venezuela’s acting president has called for cooperation with the United States following the dramatic capture of former strongman Nicolás Maduro, signalling a potential shift in the country’s diplomatic and political trajectory after years of isolation and confrontation.
Call for dialogue and stability
In a public address, the acting president said Venezuela was entering a “critical phase of transition” and stressed the need for constructive engagement with Washington to stabilise the economy, restore democratic institutions, and ensure internal security. He described cooperation with the US as essential for rebuilding international confidence.
Focus on sanctions relief and economic recovery
The interim leadership indicated that talks with the US could include discussions on easing sanctions, reviving oil exports, and facilitating humanitarian assistance. Venezuela’s economy, battered by inflation, shortages, and migration, requires urgent external support, officials said.
Assurances on sovereignty
While welcoming cooperation, the acting president emphasised that Venezuela’s sovereignty would remain non-negotiable. Any engagement with the US, he said, would be based on mutual respect and international law, not external interference.
Washington’s cautious response
US officials acknowledged the developments but said Washington would assess the situation carefully. They reiterated support for democratic processes, rule of law, and human rights, while avoiding immediate commitments on sanctions or recognition.
Regional and global reactions
Latin American governments and international observers are closely watching the unfolding situation. Analysts say the coming weeks will determine whether Venezuela moves toward reconciliation and reform or faces further political turbulence.
What lies ahead
The acting government is expected to outline a transition roadmap, including judicial processes, electoral reforms, and engagement with international institutions. Cooperation with the US could play a decisive role in shaping Venezuela’s post-Maduro future.
