Maduro's son gives 'unconditional support' to newly sworn in interim Venezuela president

Nicolás Maduro Guerra, son of the detained former Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro, supports Delcy Rodríguez as the interim president in a time of significant political upheaval after his father and stepmother were arrested by the U.S. Despite concerns about the legality of the U.S. operation, which has faced both international condemnation and support, Rodríguez vows to work with the Trump administration. On the economic front, Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado emphasizes the potential transformation of Venezuela into an energy and security hub favorable to foreign investment, which could reshape the Venezuelan economy and regional stability.

Market and economic implications:
- Potential stabilization and economic liberalization under Rodríguez could attract foreign investment, particularly in energy sectors.
- Machado’s plan points to significant policy shifts that might favor international cooperation and economic rebuilding.
- Improved political stability and legal reforms could lure back Venezuelan expatriates and boost economic recovery.
- Geopolitical reactions, especially from major powers like China and Russia, might influence international market sentiments and investments in the region.
- Energy markets might see new dynamics, especially if Venezuela increases its output and participation under a more open and stable regime.
