Venezuela's Rodríguez tells UN country is being 'reborn'; Trump greets Xi ahead of US-China summit
Venezuela's acting president addressed the UN General Assembly as Trump separately welcomed Xi Jinping for a high-stakes summit.
Venezuela's acting president Delcy Rodríguez told the United Nations General Assembly that Venezuela is being "reborn" after a period of setbacks, addressing delegates as part of the annual gathering of world leaders in New York.
Separately, US President Donald Trump greeted Chinese President Xi Jinping at a US air base as Xi arrived for a state visit, ahead of a summit expected to touch on trade, artificial intelligence and the situation involving Iran, according to reporting on the events.
A busy day of diplomacy
The two developments unfolded alongside other activity at the UN General Assembly session, including anticipation of an address by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy following recent attacks, though no public comment had been issued by Zelenskyy or Ukraine's foreign minister Andrii Sybiha at the time of reporting.
Rodríguez's remarks to the assembly framed Venezuela's current trajectory in positive terms, describing the country as returning strongly after previous difficulties, without providing further specifics in the initial report.
The Trump-Xi meeting, described as high-stakes, comes amid a broader set of discussions between Washington and Beijing, with trade, AI policy and the Iran war among the topics expected to be addressed during the visit.
