State Department urged to discuss the resignation of Maduro during the negotiations in Oslo

The corresponding message was distributed by the US State Department press service.

“As we have repeatedly stated, we believe that the only thing that can be negotiated with Nicolas Maduro is the conditions for his departure. We hope that the talks in Oslo will focus on this task, ”said the spokesperson of the US Foreign Ministry, Morgan Ortegus.

The State Department stressed that the United States is in favor of holding “free elections” in Venezuela, which are impossible in conditions of “tyranny”.

In addition, the United States called on the Venezuelan authorities to release 800 political prisoners.
