Venezuela’s president says he is resuming negotiations to lift sanctions

Nicolas Maduro wants the US government to lift crippling economic sanctions that were imposed over the last decade.

Venezuela’s government plans to resume negotiations with the US this week on lifting crippling economic sanctions, President Nicolas Maduro has announced.

“After thinking about it for two months, I have accepted, and next Wednesday, talks will restart with the United States government to comply with the agreements signed in Qatar and to reestablish the terms of the urgent dialogue.” The July 28 election is shaping up to be the biggest challenge the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela has faced in its 25-year dominance that began when the fiery Hugo Chavez became president.

Ten candidates, including the president, will be on the ballot. The only contender with a real chance of defeating the president is Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, who represents the opposition’s Unitary Platform coalition.
