Rubio Says Trump–Delcy Rodríguez Meeting in New York Covered Venezuelan Elections and Political Transition
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday in New York that a meeting between President Donald Trump and Venezuela's acting president Delcy Rodríguez was brief and covered elections in Venezuela, rebuilding the Venezuelan economy and political transition. Rubio spoke at a press conference a day after the first encounter between the two since the arrest of Nicolás Maduro in Caracas. Six outlets carried the remarks separately; none reported first-hand attendance at the meeting itself.
