Venezuela signs deal with US energy giant to rebuild power grid

Venezuela's interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, has partnered with General Electric to repair the nation's deteriorating electrical infrastructure, which has caused extended blackouts lasting ten hours or more throughout major cities. This collaboration represents a significant policy shift toward American business engagement, contrasting sharply with Rodríguez's previous anti-US stance before Nicolás Maduro's removal by US forces in January. While the interim government is attracting foreign investment and cooperating with Washington on security matters, opposition voices express concern that Maduro loyalists continue controlling most government institutions.
