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.
