Caption: Venezuela's Rodríguez Promises Elections At 'Right Moment' In First UN Address. Venezuelan Acting President Delcy Rodríguez promised elections during her first UN General Assembly address since taking power. Rodríguez said Venezuelans would determine the "right moment" for elections and pledged an inclusive and transparent process. She said her government had begun political dialogue with opposition groups aimed at establishing equal conditions for all sides. Rodríguez assumed power after former President Nicolás Maduro was captured during a U.S. military raid in January and taken to the United States. Maduro remains in U.S. custody awaiting trial on drug trafficking charges, just miles from the United Nations headquarters in New York. Rodríguez thanked President Donald Trump for his willingness to resume diplomatic relations and cooperation between Venezuela and the United States. She said the two countries were working on energy, security, combating transnational crime and greater economic cooperation. Rodríguez said Venezuela was rebuilding after political turmoil and two powerful June earthquakes that killed more than 6,500 people.
