U.S. lifts sanctions on Venezuela's Delcy Rodriguez

The U.S. on Wednesday lifted sanctions on Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodríguez, according to an Office of Foreign Assets Control entry on the Treasury Department website. The newly announced sanctions relief is the latest U.S. recognition of Rodríguez as a legitimate authority in Venezuela ever since the U.S. military captured her predecessor, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife on Jan. 3 in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas. American University Professor of Government specializing in Latin American politics and U.S. foreign policy toward Latin America, William LeoGrande, joined LiveNOW from FOX"s Carel Lajara to discuss the implications.
