Ahead of election, Venezuela’s Maduro says he has agreed to resume negotiations with United States

Associated Press  

CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuela’s government plans to resume negotiations with the U.S. government this week, President Nicolás Maduro announced Monday, less than a month before a highly anticipated election in which he and his party are facing their toughest challenge in decades. “I have received the proposal during two continuous months from the United States government to reestablish talks and direct dialogue,” Maduro said. “After thinking about it for two months, I have accepted, and next Wednesday, talks will restart with the United States government to comply with the agreements signed in Qatar and to reestablish the terms of the urgent dialogue.” Maduro’s government had held parallel talks with the Biden administration and with the U.S.-backed Unitary Platform opposition coalition. But the Biden administration ended the relief as Maduro’s ruling party continued to use its control over all government institutions to tilt the balance in his favor, including by blocking Machado’s candidacy.
