A brief "pull aside" encounter between US President Donald Trump and the interim head of Venezuela's government will take place in New York during the UN General Assembly. The meeting excludes a formal bilateral agenda, full delegations, or a joint press appearance, as specified by a White House source. Ambassador Mike Waltz confirmed that the event is the first time Trump and Delcy Rodriguez will meet face-to-face.

The interaction serves as the clearest signal of the diplomatic ties Washington has established with Caracas since the capture of Nicolás Maduro. This engagement follows the appointment of Rodriguez as the interim leader, signaling a shift in US relations with the Venezuelan regime.
