Delcy Rodriguez: Who is the Venezuelan Vice President Trump Seems to Support?

Donald Trump has stated that Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez is "willing to work with the United States" on a transition of power in the country. Rodriguez, a close ally of the Maduro government, was the first official to speak publicly after the US military operations, calling for proof of Maduro and his wife's health. Following her speech, rumors circulated that she had left Venezuela, with reports placing her in Russia, which were denied by the Russian Foreign Ministry. Trump claims Rodriguez has expressed willingness to meet any US demands, which is surprising given her history as a staunch supporter of Maduro. This move is likely aimed at self-preservation.
