US lifts sanctions on Venezuela's acting President Delcy Rodríguez
Change
The US removed Delcy Rodríguez from the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions list, enabling her to more freely work with US companies and investors.
Why it matters
Restricted-party screening and licensing expectations tied to transactions with Delcy Rodríguez are now altered, creating uncertainty for teams that previously blocked or required licenses for such dealings. Compliance and contracting processes that treated her as a prohibited counterparty must be reassessed to determine which transaction controls remain necessary.
Implications
- — Sanctions compliance teams at US banks must remove Delcy Rodríguez from internal restricted‑party lists and lift transaction blocks that were imposed solely because of her designation — failing to do so will continue to delay or reject lawful client transactions.
- — Corporate legal and compliance teams at US companies and investors pursuing contracts or investments involving Venezuelan authorities must re-evaluate screening rules and licensing requirements before rejecting or delaying deals tied to Delcy Rodríguez or her office.
