The U.S. administration removed Venezuela from its list of countries failing anti-drug cooperation commitments for fiscal year 2027, citing improved efforts under Delcy Rodríguez's interim leadership.

The UN Mission independently documented ongoing violations of human rights and the continuity of repressive structures within the Venezuelan state.

The same individuals appear in both narratives—Delcy Rodríguez, Diosdado Cabello, Vladimir Padrino López, Tarek William Saab, and Jorge Rodríguez—showing how different agencies interpret the same political landscape.

Two distinct interpretations emerge: the U.S. focuses on anti-drug cooperation improvements, while the UN emphasizes the persistence of authoritarian control.
