The Trump administration has instructed federal prosecutors in Miami to avoid pursuing criminal investigations involving Venezuela's acting President Delcy Rodríguez, according to current and former U.S. law enforcement officials cited by The Associated Press, marking another step in Washington's expanding rapprochement with Caracas after Nicolás Maduro's ouster.
The directive comes despite years of scrutiny by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, which had identified Rodríguez as a "priority target" in 2022 and compiled intelligence files on her dating back to at least 2018.
