Mexico to host talks between Venezuela's government and opposition as Caracas battles crippling US economic warfare
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador arrives to give his daily, morning news conference at the presidential palace in Mexico City
MEXICO has agreed to host talks between the Venezuelan government and opposition.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said talks with representatives of pretender Juan Guaido — the unelected former National Assembly leader whose self-appointment as president is recognised by the United States and some of its allies — would be “complex” but it was worth an effort to see if crippling US sanctions could be lifted.
Mr Guaido will be represented by Carlos Vecchio, his envoy to the US government.
