Trump meets Venezuela's Rodriguez for first time since Maduro's capture
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump held a pull-aside meeting with Venezuelan Acting President Delcy Rodriguez at a United Nations General Assembly reception in New York, marking their first in-person encounter since the January capture of former leader Nicolas Maduro.
- Rodriguez led a delegation seeking international investment in energy and mining sectors, aiming to prove the interim government is 'investable' while pursuing financing deals with United States officials.
- More than 50 protesters gathered outside the United Nations on Tuesday, waving flags and carrying signs reading "No Vote No Oil" while chanting "Delcy, I swear, you're going to Brooklyn with Maduro."
- Rodriguez described the meeting as "historic" on X, while Trump stated his administration seeks $100 billion in investment to flow into Venezuela's oil industry following an energy agreement signed last month.
- Critics argue the administration has sidelined the opposition led by Maria Corina Machado, prioritizing economic deals over democratic transition as the Inter-American Development Bank faces board pushback on a proposed $2.5 billion loan for Venezuela.
