For his part, the Minister of Communication and Information of Venezuela, Miguel Pérez Pirela, reported in his X account that at the meeting “both countries agreed to work on the design of a bilateral cooperation agenda” for issues related to drug trafficking and migration, among others.
The arrival of the head of the United States Southern Command comes less than a week before the visit of the Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright, who also met with Delcy Rodríguez on the oil issue.
Since last January 3, when the United States bombed Venezuela and captured Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores, Donald Trump’s government assured that it would administer Venezuela and be in charge of the marketing of Venezuelan oil. The United States authorities designed a three-phase plan to apply in Venezuela: stabilization, economic recovery and transition.
