Delcy Rodríguez to attend UN General Assembly and meet Donald Trump
Venezuela's acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, is confirmed to attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York. A significant highlight of her visit is a scheduled meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday, September 22, 2026. This meeting marks the first encounter between a U.S. president and a Venezuelan leader in over 11 years.
This diplomatic activity follows a major shift in Venezuelan politics after the capture of former leader Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces in Caracas this past January. Maduro remains in U.S. custody. The Venezuelan government describes this period as a diplomatic rebirth, noting that the country is reincorporating into international dynamics.
In related diplomatic and economic developments, Venezuela has agreed to elevate its relations with the United Kingdom and has signed a memorandum of understanding with the French energy company TotalEnergies to boost hydrocarbon production. Meanwhile, the Paraguayan political group Patria Querida has criticized recent diplomatic engagements between Paraguay and the Venezuelan administration, calling the move a gesture of condescension toward the current Venezuelan power structure.
