Venezuela's interim president Delcy Rodriguez and US interior minister Doug Burgum have said the two countries will be working together to develop mining in the country, BBC reported. 

Burgum, who leads President Donald Trump's National Energy Dominance Council, met Rodriguez at the presidential palace in Caracas, in the second visit by a US secretary since the US strikes and seizure of Nicolás Maduro in January.

Venezuela has already changed its law to allow more foreign investment in its previously nationalised oil sector, according to BBC.
