Trump’s Surprising Favorite: The Socialist He Sees as Venezuela’s Next Leader

                                            Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez

In a twist few observers expected, former U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly expressed support for Delcy Rodríguez, a staunch socialist and longtime insider of Venezuela’s ruling party, as a potential leader in the country’s next political chapter.

Whether Rodríguez would align with U.S. expectations or pursue her own agenda remains uncertain. But her emergence as a favored figure underscores how fluid and unpredictable Venezuela’s political landscape has become — and how unconventional alliances may shape its future.
