While the U.S. government was giving signals that it was warming up to opposition leader María Corina Machado, the Treasury Department removed Venezuelan iterim President Delcy Rodríguez from its sanctions blacklist, marking a dramatic shift in relations between Washington and Caracas.
Rodríguez's name is, as of today, April 1, officially removed from the U.S. Treasury Department's "Specially Designated Nationals" list, a registry that freezes assets and bars Americans from doing business with those listed. She was included in September 2018, together with other members of the Nicolás Maduro government.
