Venezuela Calls For Talks Between President Nicolas Maduro, Donald Trump
NDTV ^ | February 27, 2019 | Agence France-Presse

Posted on 02/27/2019 5:37:11 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Venezuela's foreign minister Jorge Arreaza on Wednesday called for direct talks between President Nicolas Maduro and his US counterpart Donald Trump, to help ease the crisis gripping his country.

"We are proposing the path of dialogue, even with the United States... Why shouldn't they meet, President Trump and President Maduro?" Arreaza said in an address at the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva.

"Enough of all this aggression," he added.

The US has led a diplomatic campaign in support of opposition leader Juan Guaido who has declared himself interim president and is recognised by about 50 countries.

Maduro has accused the United States of using aid as a political tool aimed at overthrowing him, and blames US sanctions for the economic turmoil in his country.

Arreaza also renewed an invitation to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, to visit Venezuela to evaluate the impact of what he described as a US-led "blockade".

The only discussion that needs to be had is determining what size rope we will need to hang Maduro with.

LOL, its all about PR, and you can be sure he has lots of back up from the anti America usual suspects to help him win his battle. His think tank of publicists are burning the midnight oil to help him out. He will sell out his country, and his friends Iran, China, and Russia, are investing in him. I see blood running in the streets soon.

I think Trump ought to meet with Maduro and say the following:

"Listen, Nicolas. If you had any sense at all, you'd realize that it's only a matter of months if not weeks before a mob of people (who a few years ago were your loyal supporters) lynch you and drag your body through the streets. So the best thing for all concerned, would be for you to resign from office and book a one way flight to Havana or any other place that will take you before you get the Ceausescu treatment."

Not a direct translation, but “cono ‘e tu madre” gets the point across nicely...

President Trump has zero interests in pursuing relations with the Maduro regime. He just needs to go away. Take his fortune and flee to whatever country offers sanctuary.

Oh, absolutely sure, how about, oh, I don't know, meeting in Los Angeles? Maduro could go visit Disneyland with Trump as well, cheer the poor guy up after all the troubles in his country. Heck, they'll even have a container ship full of toilet paper and grain waiting at Long Beach harbor which Murduro could hit with a champagne bottle to celebrate the end of the embargo.

The handcuffs coming on at the airport is just for his security; bet Los Angeles would also report the largest number of prospective jurors ever to answer a summons just for a shot to convict the guy.
