Venezuela’s interim government under Delcy Rodríguez has distanced itself from former president Nicolás Maduro, captured by U.S. forces in January 2026 and held in Brooklyn on drug-trafficking charges alongside his wife. Recent August negotiations with the opposition made no mention of demanding his release, a shift from earlier public statements and a signal that Caracas prioritizes domestic reconciliation and U.S. investment access over his return. Hundreds of political prisoners have been freed under the Peace and Democratic Coexistence program, but Maduro’s U.S. case proceeds independently toward a reported 2027 trial start. Traders assess low near-term release probability given the absence of diplomatic pressure, ongoing federal proceedings, and the interim authorities’ focus on consolidating power without reviving the prior leadership.
