Following the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro by the U.S., acting President Delcy Rodríguez shifted from a confrontational stance to a more diplomatic one. On Sunday, January 4, 2026, Rodríguez invited the U.S. government to engage in a cooperative agenda focused on shared development and coexistence, despite previously accusing the U.S. of invading Venezuela. This statement followed a fiery speech where she demanded Maduro's return after his capture. While the U.S. President Trump threatened Rodríguez if she didn't "do what's right," her recent statement notably omitted any demand for Maduro's release. The Venezuelan Supreme Court declared Rodríguez the country's acting president.
