Donald Trump confirms election talks with Delcy Rodríguez

United States President Donald Trump confirmed that discussions regarding elections in Venezuela were a central topic during his recent meeting with Venezuelan acting leader Delcy Rodríguez in New York. The meeting, held on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, marked a significant moment in diplomatic relations between the two nations.

While Rodríguez stated during her address to the UN General Assembly that “in Venezuela there will be elections,” she did not provide a specific date or electoral calendar. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio clarified that Washington’s objectives extend beyond the mere holding of votes; the administration seeks the reconstruction of institutional and economic conditions to ensure a “lasting republic.”

Rubio emphasized that economic restructuring and debt management are essential precursors to a stable electoral process. Additionally, Trump noted cooperation in the oil sector, suggesting that current relations are generating revenue for the Venezuelan people.
