ThunderBlade + 231 TB February 15, 2019 (edited) A month into Venezuela’s high-stakes political crisis, President Nicolas Maduro revealed in an Associated Press interview that his government has held secret talks with the Trump administration. He also predicted he would survive an unprecedented global campaign to force his resignation. While harshly criticizing President Donald Trump’s confrontational stance toward his socialist government, Maduro said Thursday that he holds out hope of meeting the U.S. president soon to resolve a crisis triggered by America’s recognition of his opponent, Juan Guaido, as Venezuela’s rightful leader. Maduro said that during two meetings in New York, his foreign minister invited the Washington-based special envoy for Venezuela, Elliott Abrams, to visit “privately, publicly or secretly.” “If he wants to meet, just tell me when, where and how and I’ll be there,” Maduro said without providing more details. He said both New York meetings lasted several hours. U.S. officials have not denied Maduro’s claim of talks. https://apnews.com/21b641f6def1400894125e3a8117f66c?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_medium=AP&utm_source=Twitter Edited February 15, 2019 by ThunderBlade 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maduro imprisoned his main opponent who was going to run against him and set up a phony Supreme Court to back him up.
