Inside Trump’s unlikely alliance with Delcy Rodríguez |
Small and slender, dressed in tailored suits and oversized glasses, Delcy Rodríguez projects the demeanor of a quiet technocrat rather than a revolutionary firebrand. But as Venezuela’s acting President, she’s overseeing one of the most extraordinary geopolitical realignments in modern Latin American history. |
Inside Caracas’s opulent Miraflores Palace, portraits of Simón Bolívar and Hugo Chávez still adorn the halls—a reminder of the socialist dictatorship she served for years. Yet months after U.S. special operations forces raided Nicolás Maduro’s residence in the middle of the night and flew him to New York to face drug-trafficking charges, Rodríguez is now working with the Trump Administration to remake the country she leads. |
For President Donald Trump, Venezuela has become the clearest expression of what aides call the “Donroe Doctrine”—a 21st century revival of the Monroe Doctrine aimed at pushing China, Russia, and Iran out of the Western Hemisphere while reasserting American dominance close to home. It is among the starkest illustrations of how Trump has sought to remake the global order in his second term. |

|
Drawing on exclusive interviews with Rodríguez; her chief political rival, Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado; and conversations with senior U.S. and Venezuelan officials, TIME’s latest cover story reconstructs the inside account of Trump’s Venezuela project. It reveals previously unreported negotiations in which the Administration offered Maduro safe passage to Turkey, enlisted Qatar as a secret intermediary after his capture, cultivated a working relationship with Rodríguez, and forged an unprecedented arrangement giving Washington sweeping influence over Venezuela’s oil revenues and government spending in exchange for renewed investment, sanctions relief, and economic recovery. |
The result is the inside story of one of the Trump Administration’s boldest and most legally contentious foreign-policy ventures—and the question now confronting both Washington and Caracas: Can this unprecedented partnership produce a genuine democratic transition in Venezuela, or does it amount to an American protectorate that survives only as long as Trump’s presidency? |
“I try to ensure that another country’s domestic policy does not affect Venezuela,” Rodríguez tells TIME, rejecting the suggestion that she has traded Venezuela’s sovereignty for political survival. “I hope that Venezuela does not become a pawn in any other country’s political agenda.” —Eric Cortellessa |

A VIRAL MOMENT |
Voice of the streets |
The tragic death of 56-year-old Irish singer-songwriter Glen Hansard, who was a legend of Dublin’s busking scene and an Oscar-winner for the original song “Falling Slowly” with co-star Markéta Irglová from the 2007 film Once, elicited remembrances from musicians around the world. Bono, the lead singer of U2, shared a video of a performance with Hansard in tribute. |
