Presidente(e) de Venezuela pide reformas a la industria petrolera para permitir más inversión extranjera

CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuela’s acting president Delcy Rodriguez used her first state of the union speech on Thursday to promote oil industry reforms that would allow greater foreign investment, an objective aggressively pushed by the Trump administration since it toppled the country’s longtime leader less than two weeks ago.

Rodríguez, who has been under pressure from the U.S. to fall in line with its vision for the oil-rich nation, said sales of Venezuelan oil would go to bolster crisis-stricken health services, economic development and other infrastructure projects.

While she sharply criticized the Trump administration and said there was a “stain on our relations,” the former vice president also outlined a distinct vision for the future between the two historic adversaries, straying from her predecessors, who have long railed against American intervention in Venezuela.
