Trump says call with Venezuela’s interim president was constructive
U.S. President Donald Trump said a phone call with Venezuela’s interim leader was positive, covering oil, trade, mining and national security issues.
The U.S. president said his recent phone call with Venezuela’s interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, was constructive, with both sides discussing shared economic and security priorities.
Donald Trump wrote on social media that the conversation focused on oil, mining, trade and national security, calling the exchange positive and useful for advancing bilateral engagement.
He said the discussions could help promote stability in Venezuela, arguing that renewed cooperation with Washington may support economic recovery and improve living conditions for ordinary citizens.
U.S.–Venezuela relations have been tense for years, shaped by sanctions, political disputes and international pressure over governance, elections and human rights.
Venezuela, despite holding some of the world’s largest oil reserves, has struggled with falling production, economic contraction, high inflation and widespread poverty.
Trump added that he had previously worked with Rodríguez and described past contacts as pragmatic, saying communication between Washington and Caracas has at times remained functional.
He stressed that cooperation in energy, trade and security could be mutually beneficial, helping Venezuela move toward recovery while serving U.S. strategic and economic interests.
The call signals a cautious attempt by both sides to reopen dialogue, raising expectations of limited engagement aimed at easing tensions and addressing Venezuela’s prolonged crisis.
