Sources indicate that Rubio remains deeply involved in the daily operations of the Venezuelan transition authority, despite not having visited the country since the capture of Maduro. According to sources speaking on condition of anonymity, Rubio has held discussions with over a dozen American officials and individuals connected to authorities in both Washington and Caracas. These discussions suggest that Rubio exerts considerable influence over several key areas pertaining to Venezuela.
His impact reportedly extends beyond directing overall American policy toward the nation. Furthermore, he is said to have significant influence over the management of state finances, the allocation of revenues derived from natural resource exports, and the execution of American sanctions. The reporting details a specific mechanism for handling export revenues.
It suggests that the majority of funds generated from Venezuelan exports would first be managed by the U.S. Treasury Department. From this department, the funds would then be gradually released to the Venezuelan government, with Rubio and his team retaining substantial oversight regarding how the money is utilized.
This level of involvement suggests that Rubio’s influence is integral to both the financial flow and the ultimate spending decisions within the framework governing the transition in Venezuela.
