Summary
Delcy Rodríguez used her first UN General Assembly address as acting president to declare Venezuela “is being reborn” after this year’s setbacks.
January’s turning point was a US military raid that captured Nicolás Maduro, removed him from Venezuela and brought him to the United States to face drug-trafficking charges.
Rodríguez also thanked Donald Trump for being willing to resume diplomatic relations, signaling a possible thaw after years of estrangement.
Her trip marked the first visit to the US by a Venezuelan head of state since 2018, while Maduro is being held near UN headquarters awaiting trial.
