US Intelligence Raises Doubts About Venezuela Leader’s Cooperation
Share
Category: GLOBAL GOVERNMENT & ALLIANCES
Summary:
U.S. intelligence reports have expressed doubts about whether Venezuela’s interim President Delcy Rodriguez will fully cooperate with the Trump administration by cutting ties with allies such as Iran, China, and Russia. Rodriguez, who assumed office after the U.S. captured former President Nicolas Maduro, has not publicly announced any severing of these relations, despite U.S. officials’ requests. Although Rodriguez has taken steps like releasing political prisoners and authorizing oil sales to the U.S., her commitment to the U.S. strategy remains unclear. The U.S. continues to exert influence over Venezuela’s leadership while considering alternative contacts within the country’s military and security sectors.

Scripture: Psalm 146:3-5 (NASB 1977)
"Do not trust in princes,
In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.
His spirit departs, he returns to the earth;
In that very day his thoughts perish.
How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
Whose hope is in the LORD his God;"
Commentary:
Power brokers want dependable loyalty, but Venezuelan leadership is weighing rival ties and U.S. demands in real time. It’s messy. People on the ground feel the uncertainty first, especially when prisons open, oil moves, and security services shift. Psalm 146 sets a steady boundary: mortal leaders are limited and unstable, so believers keep their hope anchored in the Lord. This kind of pressured alliance-making fits the prophetic pattern Scripture describes—nations repositioning, testing loyalties, and reshaping partnerships without lasting trust.
Prophetic Trend:
Unstable transitions and competing alliances are accelerating nation-to-nation bargaining, exposing how quickly political loyalty shifts under pressure.

Photo: REUTERS/Leonardo Fernandez Viloria US intelligence reports have raised doubts about whether interim Venezuelan President Delcy Rodriguez will cooperate with the Trump administration by formally cutting ties with US adversaries, four people familiar with the reports said in recent days. US officials have said publicly they want the interim president to sever relations with close international allies like Iran, China, and Russia, including expelling their diplomats and advisers from Venezuela. But Rodriguez, whose swearing-in ceremony was attended by representatives of those countries early this month, has yet to publicly announce such a move. She became president after the US captured former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Jan. 3. The US intelligence reports said it was not clear if she is fully on board with the US strategy in her country, according to the sources, who declined to be identified by name. CI...
