U.S. President Trump will meet with Venezuelan acting President Delcy Rodríguez in New York. This will also be the first face-to-face contact between the two leaders since the US military arrested former Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.

According to Reuters, Trump will meet with Venezuelan Acting President Rodriguez on the evening of the 22nd New York time (the morning of the 23rd Taiwan time). Members of the Venezuelan delegation to the United States include the Vice President in charge of economic affairs, the Minister of Petroleum, and senior officials of the national oil company.

U.S. personnel include President Trump, Secretary of State Rubio, Treasury Secretary Bessent, White House Chief of Staff Wells, and Deputy Chief of Staff Miller.

The report pointed out that the focus of Venezuela's trip is to show that Venezuela is a "worthy investment" object. This is Rodriguez's first visit to the United States since taking office as interim president. She is expected to deliver a speech at the United Nations General Assembly on the afternoon of the 23rd.

Earlier on Tuesday, more than 50 protesters gathered outside the United Nations headquarters to protest Rodriguez's attendance. They waved Venezuelan flags and held signs that read "No vote, no oil" and "New faces, same old". Many say they want Trump to push for free elections in the South American country.

Li's street sweeping in Banqiao, Sichuan is popular, saying that Su Qiaohui lacks coordination skills and has not received central subsidies.

KMT New Taipei mayor candidate Li Sichuan led party city councilors Liu Meifang, Lin Guochun and candidate Deng Kaixun to sweep the streets at Banqiao Longxing Market and received a warm welcome. In an exclusive interview, Li Sichuan criticized Su Qiaohui for "talking more with her mouth" and questioned her ability to coordinate and integrate. She pointed out that the New Taipei Rapid Transit was short of 5.41 billion in central subsidies and that Su had not allowed citizens to see the results of coordination. He also emphasized his grassroots background and service concept, and revealed that he would hold a collective rally with Han Guoyu, Hou Youyi, and Jiang Wanan at the Banqiao No. 1 Sports Stadium on October 4, saying that Hanguo Yu always cared about and was willing to help the platform.
