Lecturer at the Institute of International Relations, Dr Michał Pawiński, says the version of what happened in a telephone conversation between US President Donald Trump and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro solidifies that there is no ease in tension between the two countries.
Earlier this week, Trump confirmed he had a phone conversation with Maduro but did not disclose the details. However, reports suggest Maduro discussed a deal that would see him step down in exchange for help for him and his family.
Speaking during the event on Wednesday, which was televised live, Maduro said, “If this call means steps are being taken toward a respectful dialogue between our countries, then dialogue is welcome, diplomacy is welcome.”
