Venezuela: Jorge Rodríguez shifts from Maduro inner circle to US cooperation

Jorge Rodríguez, a senior Chavista official and former close ally of Nicolás Maduro, has reportedly become a key cooperator with the United States, following his sister Delcy Rodríguez's assumption of acting presidency after January 3. This marks a significant reversal in Venezuela's political landscape, potentially signaling internal fractures within the regime and a shift in US-Venezuela dynamics. The extent and nature of his cooperation remain unclear, and the claim is based on a single source.
