Although the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) had been investigating Delcy Rodríguez for years for allegedly being related to drug trafficking, money laundering and even looting of gold from Venezuela, the fact that she had been named interim successor to Nicolás Maduro at the head of the government of the Bolivarian Republic granted her immunity, at least temporarily, since the Donald Trump government ordered to stop seeking information that justifies her arrest.

According to information released by The Associated Press (AP) news agency, an order was recently issued from Washington to suspend any investigation related to the 57-year-old lawyer and diplomat.

Since the beginning of this year, the news outlet disclosed that, since 2018, although she has never been criminally charged in the United States, there are records indicating Delcy Eloína Rodríguez Gómez as allegedly responsible for several serious crimes that would warrant her arrest.

However, former government officials cited by AP, on condition of not revealing their identity, agree that Donald Trump is using it to open Venezuela to US investment in its oil sector, all through the reestablishment of operations with Western banks.

In addition to that, it is mentioned that, with the help of the interim president, Trump managed to put an end to the oil supply provided by the South American nation and in this way worsened the energy crisis in which Cuba has been immersed for years, as he believes that in this way he will be able to destabilize his government.

"She is doing a great job. The oil is starting to flow, and it is very pleasant to see the professionalism and dedication between both countries!" wrote the 79-year-old president on the Truth Social platform regarding Delcy Rodríguez's performance.

However, this contrasts with the US sanctions established for her and her brother Jorge Rodríguez, president of the Venezuelan National Assembly, during the Republican's first term.

And to reinforce the hypothesis that the interim president agreed to be untouchable by the US authorities, AP cited a statement from Rick de la Torre, former head of the CIA station in Caracas and current executive director of Tower Strategy, an advisory company for companies interested in investing in the Bolivarian Republic.

“She is a lifelong Marxist and was a senior leader of one of the most corrupt regimes in the world, but the United States is giving her respite and incentives to lay the foundations for democracy and American investment.

However, its usefulness has an expiration date. At some point he will have to be held accountable before justice,” he anticipated.
