President Trump is set to depart for New York later today ahead of the United Nations General Assembly, kicking off a busy week of international diplomacy.
Trump is expected to meet with several key figures on the sidelines of the annual gathering of world leaders. Among them will be Delcy Rodriguez, the interim president of Venezuela, who took charge after the US raided her country and arrested her predecessor, Nicolás Maduro, in January. Since then, Rodriguez has been pliant in response to the Trump administration’s interests, helping broker an oil deal that would see a large share of Venezuelan oil revenues diverted into US coffers.
