Venezuela's Interim President Delcy Rodriguez Meets Trump in New York
Rodriguez called the meeting historic while her predecessor, Nicolas Maduro, remains jailed in the US following his removal earlier this year.
Venezuela's interim president, Delcy Rodriguez, met with US President Donald Trump in New York, describing the encounter as a historic meeting.
The two met at a hotel in Manhattan on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. Rodriguez did not say whether she plans to visit her predecessor, Nicolas Maduro, who has been held in a Brooklyn prison since he was removed from power during a special forces operation in Caracas in January.
The meeting comes less than nine months after Trump ordered the operation that led to Maduro's removal, marking a notable shift in the relationship between the two governments. Rodriguez's public characterization of the meeting as historic reflects a change in tone between officials who had previously been political adversaries.
No further details on the substance of the discussions between Rodriguez and Trump, or on the broader implications for US-Venezuela relations, were disclosed following the meeting.
