Maduro renews call to Biden to start 'new era' of US-Venezuelan relations

Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro renewed a call to his US counterpart, Joe Biden, to begin a "new era" of relations between the two countries calling for the permanent lifting of economic sanctions.

Maduro broke relations with the United States in January 2019, when Washington recognized opponent Juan Guaido as "interim president" after he self-proclaimed himself in a square before a crowd.
