Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro said on Monday (2) that he accepted a proposal to resume direct negotiations with the United States.
“After thinking about it, I accepted and next Wednesday the talks will restart with the United States government to fulfill the agreements signed in Qatar and reestablish the terms of the dialogue with respect,” Maduro said in a televised broadcast.
In late 2023, Washington and Caracas secured a prisoner swap deal after months of Qatar-mediated negotiations.
Venezuelan official negotiator and National Assembly president Jorge Rodríguez will travel to the talks, Maduro said, without detailing the specific topics to be discussed.
Negotiations began about two years ago, but after U.S. oil sanctions were reimposed in April, Maduro’s government accused the United States of violating the Qatar deal.
