US officials have told Delcy Rodriguez that they want to see at least three moves from her: cracking down on drug flows; kicking out Iranian, Cuban and other operatives of countries or networks hostile to Washington; and stopping the sale of oil to US adversaries, according to a US official familiar with the situation and a person familiar with the administration's internal discussions.
US officials also expect Rodriguez - the former vice president now running Venezuela - to eventually facilitate free elections and step aside, the two people said. But the deadlines for the demands are fluid, and US officials stress there are no elections imminent.
