Acting President Delcy Rodríguez delivered a televised address on Sunday, urging Venezuelans to place their trust in the country’s political leadership amid what she described as hard-to-understand challenges. She emphasized the importance of national unity, calling on all political and social sectors to come together. 🤝
Her speech comes just over a week after U.S. military strikes on Venezuela, which reportedly resulted in at least 100 deaths and led to the seizure of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife. In response, Rodríguez reassured citizens that a "solid strategy" is in place to confront the adversary.
On January 7, the Venezuelan government announced it was entering negotiations to boost oil sales to the United States. Just two days later, on January 9, officials revealed the start of an "exploratory" diplomatic process with the White House, aimed at restoring diplomatic missions in both capitals. 🌎🛢️
"We need confidence in our leaders to navigate these complex times," Rodríguez said, highlighting the government's dual approach: reinforcing international relations while seeking economic opportunities.
For many Venezuelans, these moves offer a glimpse of hope as the nation faces political uncertainty and economic hardship. As talks with the U.S. progress, the call for unity could be a turning point in rebuilding public trust and forging a path forward. 🇻🇪✨
