And here's confirmation from Rubio that far-right Machado's return to Venezuela has Washington's blessing, as well as a subtle warning not to rock the boat on the plundering of spoils
The conditions allowing for the safe return of Ms. Machado to Venezuela is the direct result of the U.S. supported reconciliation talks which has already seen hundreds of political prisoners freed and hundreds of political opposition figures return from exile.
The United States expects the freedoms of all sectors of Venezuelan politics to continue to be respected. Likewise, we expect all political actors to support these talks which represent the best chance Venezuela has had in thirty years to peacefully achieve not just a free and fair election but an enduring democracy.

Meanwhile, the acting Rodríguez gov't has secured a place in Trump's good graces to retake control of CITGO and will appoint a new board. It hopes that the Trump admin will step in and halt the forced sale, but there's no suggestion that it's on the cards

And it was rigged. It was the blatant theft of Venezuela's most prized foreign asset in broad daylight, a product of US sanctions and the collusion of the US-backed opposition. Our infographic has a short history of the CITGO plunder

This is very interesting from @theguacamayave: Iran as a precedent for the US-Venezuela oil deal. Plenty of relevant parallels, from colonial plundering via a private company (Anglo-Persian) to military intervention against nascent nationalism
