WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump said in an interview that he would consider meeting with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, US media reported on Sunday.
In a Friday interview with Axios, Trump suggested that he is open to a meeting with Maduro. "Maduro would like to meet. And I'm never opposed to meeting," he said.
"I always say, you lose very little with meetings. But at this moment, I've turned them down," he added.
Trump also indicated a lack of confidence in Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido, who has gained supports from the United States and some other western countries since early 2019.
The United States has been pursuing a policy of economic sanctions and diplomatic isolation against the Maduro government in support of Guaido.
