Washington's new chief diplomat in Venezuela, Laura Dogu, met with interim president Delcy Rodriguez to discuss plans for the country's future following the removal of Nicolas Maduro. The conversation focused on stabilization, economic recovery, reconciliation, and the transition process. Rodriguez also announced new appointments to her cabinet, including naming former foreign minister Felix Plasencia to head Venezuela's diplomatic mission in the United States. This move signals a significant shift in relations between Caracas and Washington, which have been strained since 2019.
