Trump, Venezuela Leader May Meet at UN as Ties Deepen

The sit-down could advance a controversial oil deal and deepen U.S.-Venezuela ties, despite backlash from exiles and political risks on both sides.

  • President Donald Trump plans a potential meeting with Venezuela's interim leader, Delcy Rodriguez, during the upcoming General Assembly in New York, with Tuesday emerging as a possible date.
  • One Trump adviser framed the relationship as central to foreign policy wins, stating, 'Iran is tough, but Venezuela is without a doubt the president's top success, and Delcy is a key to that.'
  • The New York City meeting could occur near the Manhattan detention facility holding Nicolas Maduro, Rodriguez's former ally, whom American forces seized in Caracas during a Jan raid authorized by the president.
  • South Florida's Venezuelan exile community has grown increasingly angry, fearing the meeting brands Rodriguez a U.S. puppet, though administration officials dismissed these concerns as the president evaluates the potential optics.
  • Florida political operatives suggest any backlash will remain isolated, as midterm voters prioritize the Iran War and immigration enforcement over democratic developments in Venezuela.
