According to a Bloomberg report citing sources, a meeting between the United States and Venezuela will take place in Washington tomorrow.

The report stated: “The Venezuelan interim president plans to send a representative to Washington to meet with senior U.S. officials on the same day that opposition leader María Machado is expected to arrive in Washington to conduct talks in person.”

Abduction of Maduro by the U.S.

In the Venezuelan capital Caracas, explosions and aircraft sounds were heard around 02:00 local time on Saturday, January 3.

Following the explosions, the Venezuelan government accused the United States of carrying out attacks on civilian and military facilities in various parts of the country.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced that a large-scale operation had been carried out against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and that Maduro and his wife had been abducted and taken out of the country.

After the detention of President Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela’s Supreme Court ruled that Vice President Delcy Rodríguez would temporarily assume the duties of head of state.
