The president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (Amlo), was very optimistic about the possibility of a definitive reestablishment of relations between the United States and Venezuela, according to the statements offered to the media of that country by the president.
Relations between the governments of the United States and Venezuela must be restored. “I know they’re working toward a deal,” she said.
As will be remembered, the government of Venezuela and the United States broke off relations after Washington ignored the legitimacy of President Nicolás Maduro.
On the other hand, Obrador highlighted the need for the US to change its policy towards Latin America and the Caribbean. “An economic, commercial and political integration must be sought, with respect for the sovereignty of the countries. That is the approach that Mexico has.”
In this sense, he considered as very positive signs that Washington has not spoken out against the resumption of relations between Venezuela and Colombia, “something that they should not do, but that has happened before,” said the president.
According to the Mexican president, the United States has given positive signs with respect to the rest of the continent, and recalled that without delay it recognized the triumph of Gustavo Petro in Colombia and Lula da Silva in Brazil.
“It is positive that the victory of President Petro has been recognized without delay,” he concluded.
