A Republican congresswoman who previously criticized a U.S. agreement with Venezuela for potential oil access has softened her stance, contradicting her earlier sharp public criticism of the deal. The reversal comes after she took to social media to condemn the arrangement just days prior, raising questions about shifting political priorities. The move highlights the evolving debates over energy security and diplomatic relations amid ongoing tensions with Venezuela. Details on the congresswoman’s reasoning for the change remain unclear.
