Florida Republican Rep. María Elvira Salazar deletes a social media post criticizing a US oil access agreement with Venezuela, then reposts, praising the deal. The posts are tied to what both outlets describe as President Donald Trump’s Venezuela oil arrangement, which the agreement frames as providing access to large oil reserves.
The two reports focus on the same sequence: an initial public criticism on social media, followed by deletion and a later reversal in messaging. Both outlets characterize the change as a backtrack, but they describe it as occurring quickly after the original post. The accounts differ mainly in wording and emphasis, with one outlet highlighting the “deleting” behavior and “U-turn,” while the other underscores that she is “backtracking” after previously attacking the deal.
Overall, the reports agree on the event and timeline: Salazar posts criticism, removes the original message, and then posts again to express support for the Venezuela oil agreement.
