CARACAS, May 23 (Xinhua) — Negotiations between Venezuela and the United States have resumed and are advancing in the interests of both countries, Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello said on Wednesday.
On his weekly television program, D. Cabello said that US President Donald Trump has instructed his special envoy at large, Richard Grenell, to lead a dialogue aimed at reaching mutually beneficial agreements with Caracas.
Over the past month, the process of rapprochement between the two countries has progressed very slowly, the minister added.
He said senior U.S. and Venezuelan officials recently held talks in Antigua and Barbuda, where they reaffirmed both sides’ commitment to continuing to build trust despite deep ideological differences.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to strip the temporary protected status of thousands of Venezuelan migrants, drawing criticism from Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. A day later, Venezuela released a former U.S. Air Force soldier from jail in what was seen as an attempt to ease tensions. –0–
