Cruz Warns on Venezuela Oil Deal | US News

from US News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Senator Ted Cruz is sounding the alarm over a controversial U.S.-Venezuela oil deal, warning that partnering with Delcy Rodríguez—a Marxist, anti-American figure who served under Maduro and wasn’t democratically elected—undermines American interests and delays Venezuela’s path to democracy. Cruz insists free elections must happen by mid-next year, while also raising red flags about a shady businessman tied to Maduro’s regime and potential U.S. interference in international investigations. Other Republicans are backing him, calling Rodríguez an “interim dictator” and stressing the need for a fair, democratic future in Venezuela—not just oil deals.
