Delcy Rodriguez meets Trump: What comes next for Venezuela?

Delcy Rodríguez arrived in New York on Monday for the U.N. General Assembly. On Tuesday, she is expected to meet President Donald Trump. It will be the first meeting between a U.S. president and a Venezuelan leader in more than a decade.

For Rodríguez, the timing could hardly be more consequential. She is appearing in New York alongside other world leaders and preparing for a meeting with the U.S. president. The White House has described Tuesday’s encounter as an informal “pull-aside” rather than a formal bilateral meeting. But the label matters less than the fact that Trump has chosen to engage with her publicly.
