Venezuelan President, Nicolas Maduro has taken to Twitter, the favourite social medium of United States President, Donald Trump to seek for a new dialogue between both nations. Maduro tweeted :

“@RealDonaldTrump campaigned pledging to promote non-interference in the domestic affairs of other countries. It’s time to keep your pledge.

“The time has come to fulfill it and change your agenda of aggression for one of dialogue. .Dialogue in Caracas or Washington DC? Time and place and I will be there.”

Maduro and other senior Venezuelan government officials including Tarek William Saab, the country’s Attorney General had accused the United States of orchestrating a plan for a ‘military invasion’ of Venezuela from neighbouring Columbia, an allegation Columbian authorities have flatly denied.

During his recent tour of Latin American countries, US Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson met with Colombian President, Juan Manuel Santos when he floated the idea of slapping sanctions on Venezuela’s oil exports which accounts for 96 percent of the country’s revenues.

The United States has already imposed financial sanctions on Venezuela, prohibiting its citizens and companies from negotiating debts issued by the Maduro government and its state owned oil company, PDVSA.

Maduro had said he would travel to Lima, the capital of Peru in April for the Summit of the Americas which Trump would be attending but the Peruvian government announced it would not allow Maduro to attend on the grounds that he had broken his country’s democratic institutional order.
