He said that if Trump once “decided to correct the erroneous war policy against Venezuela that he inherited from Barack Obama,” he would be “ready to start the negotiation process to try to create a relationship based on respect”.

Maduro noted that, in his opinion, “Trump was let down in a destructive policy that failed.”

The President of Venezuela emphasized that "the time has come to stop harming Venezuela."

Earlier, Venezuelan Vice President Delsey Rodriguez called on the US government to begin restoring dialogue between the two countries.
