Quick Summary

President Donald Trump will meet with Delcy Rodríguez, acting president of Venezuela, during his visit to New York City next week for the United Nations General Assembly. The meeting is described as a "pull-aside," which indicates it will be more casual than an official bilateral session. Mike Waltz, U.S. ambassador to the UN, provided this information and noted that the meeting follows the U.S. operation to capture Venezuela’s former leader, effectively placing Rodríguez in charge of the country.
