Venezuela broke its relations with the United States in January 2019, when the administration of Donald Trump recognized Juan Guaidó as president of the South American nation.
Nicolás Maduro, president of Venezuela, commented this Sunday, November 8, that he will work to reach and resume the “decent” and “sincere” dialogues with the new president of the United States, Joe Biden.
The Venezuelan president congratulated Biden on his victory over Donald Trump, in one of the tightest elections in recent years and also commented that:
“Hopefully, we will work with patience to resume decent, sincere, direct channels of dialogue between the future government of Joe Biden and Venezuela,” explained the president.
Venezuela broke its relations with the United States in January 2019, when the administration of Donald Trump decided to recognize Juan Guaidó, head of parliament, as the president in charge of the South American country.
Maduro also commented that the path left by former President Trump is “bogged down” and “undermined” for relations between Venezuela and the United States. The current Venezuelan president also hopes that the Biden administration will end “interventionism.”
The United States maintains a series of economic sanctions against Venezuela, among which is the embargo on its oil, in force since April 2019. Additionally, the North American country offered 15 million dollars for all information that leads to the arrest of Maduro, whom they accuse of “narco-terrorism”.
