Delcy Rodriguez is scheduled to attend next week's United Nations General Assembly in New York as Venezuela's acting president.
Rodriguez is expected to become the first Venezuelan president to attend the General Assembly in years. She is also expected to hold high-level talks during her visit to New York, although the program has not yet been made public.
U.S. President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio said they could meet with Rodriguez if she travels to New York. Rubio said last week that such a meeting would probably take place and that he had spoken with Rodriguez several times since January.
Venezuela underwent political changes after Nicolas Maduro was captured on January 3. Rodriguez, who was vice president and oil minister, was sworn in as acting president during this process; amendments were made to the country's main oil law, and some political prisoners were released.
