Rodríguez promises Venezuelan rebirth after meeting Trump
Venezuela’s long international isolation is coming to a close. President Delcy Rodríguez’s visit to the US this week was replete with symbolism, marked by a short meeting with US President Donald Trump and an address to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). Her appearance presented a stark contrast to the last time she took to the podium in 2019. The defiant tone she struck then was replaced by an emollient one. Since taking over the helm in the wake of the seizure of Nicolás Maduro by the US military operation in January, she has cultivated this softer image. However, while expressing a commitment to reviving Venezuela through a democratic transformation and fresh elections, she offered no hint of a timetable.
