Republican congresswoman María Elvira Salazar said she is "not comfortable" with the easing of sanctions on Venezuelan official Delcy Rodríguez, calling her "a thief," but arguing that the move is part of a broader U.S. strategy to push Venezuela toward democratic elections.
In an interview with CBS News, Salazar described what she called a "new blueprint" under President Trump, in which U.S. policy temporarily engages with figures in Venezuela's ruling structure to facilitate a political transition.
