Venezuela’s interim leader arrives in US for UN General Assembly
Venezuela’s interim leader Delcy Rodriguez says she has arrived in the United States for the United Nations General Assembly. Her attendance would mark the first participation by a Venezuelan head of state since Nicolas Maduro addressed the event in 2018.
Venezuela’s interim leader, Delcy Rodriguez, has arrived in the United States to attend the United Nations General Assembly, she said in a social media post on Monday. Rodriguez said Venezuela would be represented at the 81st General Assembly and described her delegation’s agenda as focused on respect, cooperation and understanding. She said the country intended to make its voice heard and defend its principles.
According to the supplied report, her attendance is the first participation by a Venezuelan head of state at the event since former President Nicolas Maduro spoke there in 2018. The report says Maduro was captured in a US military raid in January and is being held in a federal jail in New York while awaiting trial on drug-trafficking and other charges. Rodriguez previously served as Maduro’s vice president.
The report says she has cooperated with US President Donald Trump’s demands, including granting US access to Venezuela’s oil reserves. It also says a recent agreement would give the United States control of about one-fifth of those reserves. The claims were reported by Channels Television, citing AFP.
