Washington, DC – US Senator Marco Rubio said that his country does not rule out the possibility of direct negotiations between US President Donald Trump and his Venezuelan counterpart, Nicolás Maduro. These remarks come amid potential efforts to reset relations or address outstanding issues between the two sides.
Rubio explained in a press statement that any potential contact would be subject to careful political calculations. He emphasized that Washington still maintains clear conditions regarding democracy and human rights before engaging in any direct negotiations with Caracas.
He noted that the US administration is considering various available scenarios for dealing with the Venezuelan situation. This is particularly relevant given the regional and international changes, which necessitate a reassessment of the diplomatic and economic tools employed in recent years.
These statements come at a time of prolonged tension in US-Venezuelan relations, marked by economic sanctions and political pressure. All these factors make any talk of direct negotiations a significant development that could reshape the political landscape between the two countries.
