Delcy Rodríguez arrives in New York for UN General Assembly and meeting with Donald Trump
Delcy Rodríguez, the acting president of Venezuela, has arrived in New York to participate in the 81st UN General Assembly. Her diplomatic agenda includes a scheduled meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday, marking a significant moment in the evolving bilateral relations between Washington and Caracas following the January capture of Nicolás Maduro.
Rodríguez is also engaging with major international financial institutions. She has held meetings with the leadership of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the World Bank Group to discuss economic cooperation and debt restructuring. Additionally, the Venezuelan delegation conducted bilateral talks with representatives from the United Kingdom at the UN headquarters to promote institutional dialogue.
While the Venezuelan government describes these efforts as a normalization of international relations, the visit has drawn criticism from opposition figures and regional leaders. Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva questioned the nature of the relationship between the U.S. and the Venezuelan administration, while Venezuelan opposition leaders have challenged the legitimacy of Rodríguez’s representation.
