The first vice-president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello, said on Monday that the Bolivarian Government of President Nicolás Maduro is willing to establish relations with the United States (USA) based on mutual respect, following the inauguration of Donald Trump as head of state of the North American country.

“The president (Maduro) has said it, I don't know how many times, respect is all we ask, we respect everyone, that they respect us all, that they respect us and we will have transparent relations with whom,” Cabello said during the usual weekly press conference of the red awning.

He recalled the recent decision of the Executive to limit the presence of diplomatic personnel from the embassies of the Netherlands, Italy and France in Caracas because of the involvement of these governments in destabilizing actions against Venezuela. “Embassies in a country are not there to conspire against that country,” he criticized, stressing that diplomatic offices are there to relate to governments.

Cabello noted that “one way for transparent relationships is to eliminate intermediaries. I have always believed that people meet face to face, here for a long time the intermediaries were the media, the Embassy of the United States at that time was nourished by what El Nacional, El Universal came out (...) then that was replaced by very capricious people who, because of their family heritage as they are of their last names, wanted to be presidents”.

“The relations that exist with the United States or with any country in the world depend on the President of the Republic and rest assured that this party will support our president in the decisions he makes, whatever decision he makes. If the United States wants a relationship of respect, here is our hand,” he emphasized.
