According to people familiar with the matter, Venezuelan Acting President Delsi Rodriguez plans to go to New York next week to attend the United Nations General Assembly. The trip will be an important step in the rapid normalization of relations between Caracas and the Trump administration. People familiar with the matter said Rodriguez will be the first Venezuelan head of state to attend the conference in nearly ten years. The last time was Nicolas Maduro attending the conference during Trump's first presidential term in September 2018. Sources said that Rodriguez is expected to hold a number of high-level talks in New York and requested anonymity since the relevant arrangements have not yet been made public. Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio both said that if this visit were to take place, the two might meet him. Press officials in the Rodriguez administration did not respond to requests for comment. The United Nations General Assembly Office declined to comment on the possibility of attending the conference, citing relevant procedures. The White House has yet to respond to related inquiries.
