Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro confirmed Wednesday that he had a “cordial” phone call with his US counterpart Donald Trump 10 days ago amid a US military buildup in Latin America.
“I spoke with the President of the United States, Donald Trump. I can say that the conversation was respectful, and I can even say that it was cordial,” Maduro told state television.
“If this call means that steps are being taken toward a respectful dialogue — state to state, country to country — then we welcome dialogue, welcome diplomacy, because we will always seek peace,” the leftist leader added.
Trump confirmed the telephone conversation with Maduro on Sunday without providing any details. (AFP)
