Following the capture of Nicolás Maduro, Rodríguez is moving to deepen rapprochement with the United States. During her speech, she thanked President Donald Trump for renewing cooperation with her government.
While promising a vote, the interim leader did not provide a specific date or timeline for the election. She stated that the nation's people will determine the right moment for the vote to occur.
