United States President Donald Trump will meet with Delcy Rodríguez, the interim president of Venezuela, next Tuesday in New York. This meeting will occur on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly and is considered the first formal dialogue between the two leaders.

The White House announced that this meeting comes after years of strained relations between the United States and Venezuela. It is highlighted that this will be the first time a Venezuelan head of state participates in such a meeting since President Nicolás Maduro's speech in 2018.

According to reports, the meeting is part of an agenda that includes various bilateral meetings for Trump with international leaders, such as those from the United Kingdom and Japan.

Expectations for this dialogue are significant, as it takes place in a context where Washington and Caracas made preliminary agreements in August that could allow the United States to collaborate on Venezuelan oil reserves.

Additionally, it has been mentioned that Delcy Rodríguez has pushed for reforms and released prisoners in an effort to align Venezuela more closely with U.S. policies, although the country still lacks an electoral date, according to reports from Human Rights Watch.

This event marks a milestone in bilateral relations between the two countries, highlighting changes in the political and economic dynamics in the region.
