U.S. President Donald Trump said he held a “long call” with Venezuela’s interim president Delcy Rodriguez, describing their conversation as positive and calling her “a terrific person” in remarks from the White House. The call, the first known contact between the two leaders since Nicolás Maduro’s ouster, covered a wide range of topics including oil, minerals, trade and security, signalling a potential shift in U.S-Venezuela relations after weeks of tension and military action earlier this month. Both sides portrayed the dialogue as constructive amid ongoing diplomatic and political developments in the region.
