Summary
Washington hosted Marco Rubio’s first meeting with Dinorah Figuera on Friday, bringing the Venezuelan opposition’s negotiating leadership directly into talks with the Trump administration.
Rubio said the negotiations with Venezuela’s government have “100 percent support” from Washington and framed them as a path toward “lasting democratic change.”
Figuera leads the opposition delegation and heads Venezuela’s opposition-led 2015 National Assembly, which now operates in exile.
The meeting signals continued U.S. backing for a negotiated political process in Venezuela rather than a shift away from opposition-led diplomacy.
