Venezuela’s government and its political opposition are seeking to coordinate their legal defense of the country’s United States assets, following Washington’s official recognition of interim President Delcy Rodriguez. This recognition has raised questions about who can represent Venezuela in U.S. courts, prompting both sides to explore cooperation.

美國與資產保護政策
The U.S. has taken steps to protect Venezuelan assets, including Executive Order 14373, which aims to prevent creditors from attaching Venezuelan assets. The State Department has also stated that granting control over some assets to the opposition leader will help the legitimate government safeguard those assets for the benefit of the Venezuelan people.
