President Donald Trump on Friday said the United States relationship with Venezuela is "very good" and that he plans to visit the country.
Trump's praise for Venezuela's interim leader, Delcy Rodriguez, follows the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in January, and comes as the Trump administration is trying to boost oil deals in the country.
"I'm going
to make a visit to Venezuela," Trump told reporters at the White House, although he did not share any additional details.
"We have a very good relationship with the president of Venezuela," Trump said, noting the United States is "working together very closely" with Rodriguez on access to oil.
"The relationship we have right now with Venezuela I would say is a 10," Trump added.
