On a recent Monday morning, Delcy Rodríguez, acting president of Venezuela, arrived at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey. The photograph shared by her office shows her being received by John Barrett, the United States’ Charge d’Affaires for Venezuela. This meeting marks a significant diplomatic interaction.
Rodríguez is set to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday. Their meeting is scheduled to take place on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. Meanwhile, Nicolás Maduro, her former running mate, remains in a Brooklyn prison, only about six miles from the site of this high-profile meeting.
This contrasting scenario highlights the substantial influence the United States exerts over the political dynamics in Caracas. The meeting with President Trump signifies crucial talks that may impact both countries’ relations moving forward.
