Venezuela Acting Leader Rodríguez Plans UN Visit Amid Diplomatic Reset

Venezuela's Acting President Delcy Rodríguez plans to attend the UN General Assembly in New York next week, marking a major step in normalizing relations with the Trump administration. Rodríguez would be the first Venezuelan head of state to attend in nearly a decade. She is expected to hold high-level meetings and could meet with Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The visit would mark a swift diplomatic reset following Maduro's capture by US forces in January. Rodríguez was removed from the US Treasury's sanctions list on April 1, eliminating a major obstacle to a potential visit. Her travel would also put Rodríguez in the same city where Maduro remains in federal custody while facing US charges.
