CIA Director Ratcliffe Visits Caracas for Talks With Venezuela’s Acting President
CIA Director John Ratcliffe traveled to Caracas to meet acting president Delcy Rodríguez, discussing potential economic cooperation and stressing that Venezuela should not be a safe haven for America’s adversaries—especially narcotraffickers. The visit comes amid U.S. efforts to project greater influence in Venezuela after Maduro’s capture earlier this month, with CIA involvement in planning and leadership assessments noted by sources.
