In a surprising move, interim President Delcy Rodríguez has been increasing her diplomatic outreach to the United States, raising questions about the future of Venezuela's socialist Chavismo movement. Under the late President Hugo Chávez, Venezuela's ties with the US were strained, and the country aligned itself closely with other leftist nations in Latin America.
