The United States declared its readiness to cooperate with the current leadership of Venezuela
The United States is ready to cooperate with the current Venezuelan leadership if Caracas makes decisions that meet Washington's interests. This was announced on 4 January by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on CBS News
According to the head of the State Department, further steps of the United States will depend on the specific actions of the Venezuelan authorities. He stressed that in the absence of such decisions, Washington still has tools to protect its interests. Among the key factors, Rubio specifically mentioned Venezuela's energy sector and oil industry
On the same day, Bloomberg reported that Marco Rubio could be given a leading administrative role by the US in shaping policy towards Venezuela after the ouster of Nicolas Maduro. According to the publication, Donald Trump's administration is considering large-scale investments by US oil companies in the restoration of the country's infrastructure, which could reach billions of dollars
