Rodriguez made the remarks in the wake of US Secretary Chris Wright's visit to Venezuela on Wednesday, for a first hand assessment of the country's oil infrastructure, as well as oil and gas production operations. In the wake of Nicolas Maduro's capture, the Venezuelan Supreme Court temporarily transferred the duties of the head of state to Rodriguez who was officially sworn in as acting president before the National Assembly on January 5. Rodriguez further noted she has held two "very respectful" conversations with Trump since assuming duties office, and claimed having received an invitation to visit the United States, a trip she says she will consider once Washington and Caracas establish cooperation.
