Maduro's influence fades as Delcy Rodríguez consolidates interim presidency in Venezuela

Delcy Rodríguez, serving as interim president, is systematically distancing her administration from Nicolás Maduro by reshuffling the cabinet and enacting policies such as the Hydrocarbons Law, an amnesty law, and a notable oil agreement with the United States. This signals a significant political realignment within Venezuela's leadership, though the durability of this shift and Maduro's remaining influence remain uncertain. The move could reshape regional geopolitics and energy markets if sustained.
