Venezuela’s acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, may travel to New York next week to take part in the United Nations General Assembly session, according to reports from Caracas. If the trip goes ahead, it would be the first time in years that such a senior Venezuelan official appears at the UN’s main global forum, following Nicolás Maduro’s last address there in 2018.
The possible visit gained extra significance after US President Donald Trump suggested he might meet with Rodríguez during her stay, rather than ruling out the idea. Such a meeting would be notable given the tense relationship between Washington and Caracas in recent years, and could hint at a shift in diplomatic tone between the two governments.
Adding to the buzz, Trinidad and Tobago’s prime minister has said she plans to hold talks with the Venezuelan representative while in New York, suggesting the trip could also open the door to renewed regional dialogue in the Caribbean, an area closely watched due to its economic and migration ties with Venezuela.
Details of the itinerary have not been finalized, and it remains unclear whether Rodríguez will speak directly at the Assembly or meet privately with other leaders.
