💨 Abstract

As the U.S. sought to replace Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, a group of oil industry executives and investors advocated for Delcy Rodríguez, the oil minister, to take over. They believed her experience navigating sanctions and economic pressures made her the best candidate to stabilize Venezuela's oil-based economy and facilitate American business. The Trump administration independently agreed, endorsing Rodríguez over dissident María Corina Machado.
