President Donald Trump will meet Venezuela's acting President Delcy Rodriguez in New York on Tuesday, marking their first in-person encounter since Washington ousted former leader Nicolas Maduro in January. The encounter will occur during a reception hosted by Trump for leaders attending the UN General Assembly, according to a senior US official.
The talks aim to bolster US engagement with Venezuela over its energy sector, as Trump hosts a reception where he will meet with Rodriguez. Details on the topics to be discussed between the leaders were not disclosed, although the US and Venezuela recently signed an energy agreement allowing Washington to take partial control of Venezuela's oil reserves.
This development comes as Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado prepares to return to the country to seek public support following the disputed 2024 election.
