Deal critics
VS
Delcy Rodriguez
Delcy Rodríguez is Venezuela's interim president, a position she assumed amid the country's ongoing political and economic crisis.
She has been a key figure in the government of Nicolás Maduro, and critics describe her as deeply involved in creating an oppressive and corrupt structure that is profoundly anti-democratic.
Her leadership is now focused on navigating relations with the United States, particularly regarding oil deals.
The deal to supply oil to the United States has sparked debate over whether it compromises national sovereignty or is a pragmatic economic necessity.
Rodríguez defends the agreement, asserting that Venezuela retains sovereignty despite the deal.
Critics, including dissidents and hardliners within the regime, question her motives, with some viewing her accommodation as a betrayal and others wondering who to trust as she clings to power.
The stakes are high: the deal could provide economic relief but may also alienate hardliners and raise doubts about Washington's confidence in her leadership.
US intelligence reports have expressed concerns about her reliability, and her balancing act is seen as untenable by some analysts.
