Venezuela's Vice President Delcy Rodríguez has called for a complete removal of international sanctions, declaring the country's goal is a "Venezuela free of sanctions." This statement comes amid a diplomatic thaw with the United States, where limited sanctions relief has been granted.
Rodríguez emphasized that the current measures have proven insufficient to stabilize Venezuela's turbulent economy. "The partial relief we've seen is not enough," she stated, highlighting ongoing economic challenges despite recent diplomatic progress.
The call for full sanctions removal represents Venezuela's position as negotiations continue between Caracas and Washington. Economic analysts note that while some sanctions have been eased, core restrictions remain in place, limiting Venezuela's ability to fully recover from years of economic contraction.
This development occurs as Venezuela prepares for upcoming elections, with economic stability being a central concern for voters and international observers alike.
