WASHINGTON / CARACAS (Reuters) – Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido held talks with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday, the US State Department said, the highest US contact with Guaido since the President Joe Biden took office Jan. 20.

Washington and dozens of other countries recognized Guaido as Venezuela’s legitimate leader in January 2019 after Guaido, the leader of the opposition-held National Assembly, invoked the constitution to assume an interim presidency, arguing that the re-election of President Nicolas Maduros in 2018 was fraudulent.

In his appeal with Guaido, Blinken stressed the importance of a return to democracy in Venezuela through free and fair elections, State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement.

Maduro, who has retained power backed by the military and its South American allies including Russia, China and Cuba, argues that Guaido is an American puppet who seeks to oust him in a coup.

Price said Guaido and Blinken discussed urgent humanitarian needs in Venezuela, which suffers from a multi-year economic crisis.

Blinken described the United States’ efforts to work with the European Union, the Organization of American States and other groups to increase multilateral pressure and push for a peaceful and democratic transition, Price said.

Guaido told an Argentinian television station on Tuesday evening that he spoke with Blinken and Canadian Foreign Minister Marc Garneau as part of the agenda of international alliances to save democracy in Venezuela.

A White House official told Reuters over the weekend that the Biden administration was in no rush to lift US sanctions against Venezuela imposed by former President Donald Trump, but would consider lifting them. relax if Maduro takes confidence-building measures showing he is ready to negotiate in earnest with the opposition.
