“The agenda (in the United States) is still being defined, but it includes meetings with political leaders represented in Congress. We also have a conversation planned with President Joe Biden and we await definitions regarding the new authorities,” said González Urrutia when asked about an eventual meeting with Donald Trump, who will assume the Presidency on January 20.
Regarding whether he will be in Venezuela on January 10, González Urrutia limited himself to confirming that he will travel to the country to take office, without offering details, citing security reasons.
“Today, more than ever, I feel geographically and emotionally closer to fulfilling the mandate that Venezuelans gave us in the July elections,” González asserted, indicating that January 10 will be a ““emotionally charged date.”
“I am not going to reveal more than what I have already said: that my intention is to go to Venezuela simply to take possession of the mandate that the Venezuelans gave me when they elected me with more than 7 million votes,” he also indicated.
González Urrutia made it clear that “the circumstances are complicated.”
