Trump to meet acting Venezuelan president in New York

President Donald Trump will meet with Delcy Rodriguez, the acting president of Venezuela, for the first time next week since his administration carried out an operation to capture the nation’s former leader and effectively put Rodriguez in charge.

The gathering in New York City between the two leaders will be a “pull-aside” – diplomatic speak for a meeting that is more casual than a formal bilateral sit-down – said Mike Waltz, the US ambassador to the United Nations. Trump will be in town for the annual United Nations General Assembly.

Waltz also said Trump will meet with Andy Burnham, the United Kingdom prime minister, and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. The Trump-Burnham meeting will be their first since Burnham became prime minister in July.
