The United States Responded to Venezuelan Dictator Nicolás Maduro’s Claim That Sanctions on the South American Country Remained “Unchanged” Until Concrete Measures Were Taken to Change the Dictatorial Government to a Democracy.

“As long as Maduro and his followers continue to oppress the Venezuelan people and divert resources to corrupt practices, we will continue to pressure the regime through sanctions,” said a spokesman for the U.S. State Department in an interview with EFE.

Maduro does not believe in a return to democracy and is asking for an agreement with Biden. On Thursday, Maduro asked U.S. President Joe Biden to lift “all sanctions” against Venezuela that the dictator deemed “criminal.” A State Department spokesperson insisted that Maduro sit down with the unified opposition platform to “solve Venezuela’s problems and restore democracy and the rule of law in the country.”

The Biden administration conditioned the lifting of sanctions on an agreement reached between Maduro and the opposition during negotiations in Mexico City. The United States has not recognized Maduro’s opponent, Juan Guaidó, as interim president for two weeks, despite the dictator’s denials. However, the country also does not recognize the legitimacy of Nicolás Maduro’s government, stating that the regime is a dictatorship and a return to democracy.

In an interview with Telesur, Venezuela’s state television, Maduro stated that he is available to restore diplomatic, consular, and political relations with the current and future U.S. governments.

Caracas had suspended relations with Washington in 2019, after former President Donald Trump recognized opposition leader Juan Guaidó as interim president and imposed sanctions on the country, including an embargo on oil.
