Venezuela president returns from US visit with no deals, no firm election date
She left with photos of Trump but no signed agreements, while sources said planned reforms could delay elections for at least a year.
- Acting Venezuelan President Delcy Rodriguez concluded her UN General Assembly visit in New York on Saturday without securing concrete agreements or an election timetable, despite lobbying for business deals on debt, energy, and mining.
- Planned overhauls of the Supreme Court and National Electoral Council are central to the delay, as replacing 32 judges and five directors will take at least 12 months, likely pushing elections to late 2027.
- Although Rodriguez met briefly with President Donald Trump and was photographed with him, the delegation left without signed accords; more than 50 protesters outside the UN carried signs reading "New Face, Same Regime."
- US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said discussions focused on sovereign debt restructuring, as the administration prioritizes economic and social stability over immediate political change, showing little apparent urgency for elections.
- Political analyst Nicmer Evans warned that elections will occur only "when the United States sees fit," suggesting the current diplomatic strategy prioritizes regime survival over democratic concessions amid stalled multilateral financing.
