U. S. President Donald Trump is expected to meet Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodríguez in New York next week, marking their first face-to-face encounter since the dramatic change of leadership in Caracas earlier this year.

The meeting, described by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz as a “pull-aside,” will take place on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, where Trump is scheduled to meet several world leaders.

Waltz disclosed the planned engagement while speaking with reporters on Friday. He also confirmed that Trump will meet British Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi during his New York visit. The meeting with Burnham will be their first since he became British prime minister in July.

Trump is also expected to hold discussions with leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council, comprising Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain, amid continuing U.S. efforts to resolve the war with Iran.

Rodríguez assumed Venezuela’s acting presidency following a U.S. military operation in January that resulted in the capture of then-President Nicolás Maduro, who was subsequently taken to the United States to face drug-trafficking charges.

Before becoming acting president, Rodríguez served as Maduro’s vice president. Her planned meeting with Trump comes shortly after Venezuela and the United States announced an agreement that would give the U.S. a stake in Venezuela’s extensive oil reserves.

Rodríguez has described the oil agreement as an opportunity to support Venezuela’s economic recovery and modernise its petroleum industry.

The planned New York meeting is expected to provide an opportunity for Trump and Rodríguez to discuss the evolving relationship between Washington and Caracas as the two countries pursue new economic and diplomatic arrangements.
