Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has said in public that he is ready to have "serious" talks with the United States. The announcement comes at a time when the two countries are still having problems with their politics and economies.
Maduro's remarks during a televised speech could mean a change in how he deals with other countries. Maduro said, "We are ready for a serious, honest, open, and respectful negotiation with the government of the United States." He stressed that any possible dialogue should be based on mutual respect.
For years, the relationship between Venezuela and the US has been tense, with sanctions, diplomatic expulsions, and a lack of direct high-level communication. Many countries, including the US, do not recognise Maduro as president. Instead, they support opposition leader Juan Guaidí.
Analysts say that Maduro's recent overture could be caused by a number of things, such as the ongoing economic crisis in Venezuela, the effects of international sanctions, and a possible desire to make the country less isolated on the world stage.
The US State Department hasn't officially responded to Maduro's comments yet, but US officials have said in the past that they are open to talking about how Venezuela can move towards democracy. There are likely to be big problems with any future talks because the two governments don't trust each other and have deep-seated disagreements.
This change could be a key moment in the complicated relationship between Venezuela and the United States. It could lead to a de-escalation and more diplomatic talks in the future.
