Accused of drug trafficking Maduro offers negotiations with the USA

Vice President of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez, confirmed on Monday that President Nicolas Maduro sent a letter to US President Donald Trump, expressing readiness for direct conversations with his special envoy, Richard Grenell.

According to UPI agency, Maduro denied participation in drug trafficking, describing these allegations as “fake news” and presented “convincing data” proving that Venezuela is free from drug production. He appealed to stop military threats and encouraged President Trump to promote the room through dialogue.

The letter was sent on September 6 after American attacks on ships allegedly involved in drug smuggling, as a result of which a dozen or so Venezuelans were killed, including 11 TREME de Aragua gang. The White House did not provide unambiguous evidence regarding the goals of these activities.

The spokeswoman for the White House, Karoline Leavitt, rejected the arguments contained in Maduro on Monday. She called them “many lies” and emphasized that the United States consider the Maduro regime illegal and remain involved in the fight against drug trafficking.

“We think that the Maduro regime is illegal, and the president clearly showed that he is ready to use all necessary means to stop the illegal trade in deadly drugs led by the Venezuelan regime to the United States,” said Leavitt.

On Sunday, when asked by journalists, Trump refused to confirm the receipt of the letter, commenting only: “We will see what would happen to Venezuela.”

As CNN reminded, the administration in Washington accused Maduro that she is one of the largest drug dealers in the world, cooperating with cartels to flood the USA with cocaine mixed with Fentanyl. In August, the award for his arrest was doubled to $ 50 million.

Voltage increased when America directed war ships to fight drug trafficking, which prompted Venezuela to conduct military exercises and mobilize the militia.

Grenell, who met Maduro several times this year, recently called to de -escalation. He expressed the hope that both countries “can still reach an agreement” to avoid war.
