Her flight is slated for Thursday (Apr. 21) and the president is expected to return to Brazil on Friday. Rousseff's absence leads Michel Temer to serve as acting president during her trip.

In her speech in New York, Rousseff is expected to talk about the political crisis and the impeachment proceedings under deliberation in the Senate.

During an interview with foreign correspondents at the Planalto presidential palace, Rousseff once again criticized vice-President Michel Temer and lower house speaker Eduardo Cunha for plotting against her mandate.
