US-Venezuela Diplomatic Re-engagement and Interim Government Recognition
US President Trump met with Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez in New York, marking the first direct high-level contact and signaling a significant shift in US-Venezuela relations. This engagement appears to recognize Rodríguez as an interim president and has reportedly included discussions on oil, debt restructuring, and strategic cooperation, while Nicolás Maduro remains in US custody. The precise terms and outcomes of these discussions, and the implications for broader US policy and Venezuelan internal politics, remain largely unclear.
