As Venezuela’s Interim President Delcy Rodriguez met with Barbadian Prime Minister Mia Mottley inviting the country to invest in Venezuelan oil and gas earlier this week, she wore a brooch appearing to depict a map of Venezuela that includes the disputed Essequibo region of Guyana on her chest.

Rodriguez, a regime loyalist who has been functioning as Venezuela’s Head of State in the aftermath of the US military operation that extracted former President Nicolas Maduro, has reportedly worn the same accessory during a previous meeting with Grenada’s Dickon Mitchell last week, drawing condemnation from Guyanese President Irfaan Ali, and a number of other local bodies.

Since Rodriguez first assumed the office in early January, reportedly cautioned by US President Donald Trump that without cooperation she may face a fate worse than her predecessor, she has yet to publicly issue a firm stance on Venezuela’s previous claim to the oil-rich region. She has in the past four months softened her anti-US stances, cooperating with American policy makers and strengthening diplomatic relations between the two.
