US President Donald Trump has said he is open to meeting Venezuela’s acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, signaling a potential diplomatic shift in relations between Washington and Venezuela.
Speaking to reporters aboard the presidential aircraft, Trump said his administration was maintaining positive engagement with Venezuela’s current leadership. “Things are going very well with Venezuela. We are working very well with the leadership,” he said.
Asked whether he intended to meet Rodríguez, who previously served as vice president under Nicolás Maduro, Trump replied: “At some point, I will.”
Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as acting president following the arrest of former president Nicolás Maduro and his wife on January 3. Since assuming the role, Rodríguez has overseen the launch of negotiations with the United States across several fronts.
Trump’s remarks suggest a possible thaw in US-Venezuela relations after years of tension, sanctions and diplomatic isolation, as both sides explore avenues for dialogue amid political changes in Caracas.
