U.S. officials say the Trump administration is prepared to lift sanctions on Venezuela in support of a new proposal to form a transitional government representing allies of both President Nicolas Maduro and opposition leader Juan Guaido.

FILE - In this March 12, 2020, file photo, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro speaks at a press conference at the Miraflores Presidential Palace in Caracas, Venezuela. The Trump administration will announce Thursday, March 26, 2020, indictments against Maduro and members of his inner circle for effectively converting Venezuela's state into a criminal enterprise at the service of drug traffickers and terrorist groups, according to multiple people familiar with the situation.

Four of the members would be appointed by the opposition-controlled National Assembly that Guaidó heads. To draw buy-in from the ruling socialist party, a two-third majority would be required. The fifth member, who would serve as interim president until elections are held, would be named by the other council members. Neither Maduro nor Guaidó would be on the council.

But for sanctions to vanish, Abrams said the council would need to be functioning and all foreign military forces — from Cuba or Russia — would need to leave the country. “It’s a little hard to see how this is going to be convincing to the major players in the government,” said David Smilde, a senior fellow at the Washington Office on Latin America. “They seem to think the military is going to step in, but that seems extremely unlikely.”

Us can mind its own business and concentrate on their own fraudulent anti democratic elections.

EEUU and trump aré TERRORIST

Perhaps the rest of the world should get together and demand the US 'leader' step aside.

Noooooo...

Wow.. US meddling in other country's internal affairs. Imagine Russia doing this

Presidente Maduro? O dictador?

To listen and obey to a country that dropped 2 nuke bombs, chemical and biological weapons, invaded countries and continuing to bring terrorism in all areas of this world... you are really an untermench. . That is to say .. a low class human.

They are thriving for that oil

Ridiculous

more or less ... negotiate with an alleged drug trafficker ... I mean, isn't it? They misjudged mr ... why is it perhaps the only reason to let your guard down or is there more? 

Más o menos?

Why do we even give a shit about a Venezuela?

Pull the other one it has bells on it.

Jinkamata92 In the U.S dreams that Maduro and his gang will accept..

Fíjense a maduro lo llaman presidente y a Guaido líder opositor...

. Parece un sin sentido esa noticia , entonces la Honorabe Fisclia de los EEUU, va dejar en libertad una banda de narcotraficantes y asesinos No sera que uno of your brilliant journalists tiene coronav9 o esta haciendo el lobby al narcotrafico?Thinking about?

NicolasMaduro understands history and he knows US Monroe doctrine has never in history looked for “agreements”. They will only give diktats masqueraded by “proposals”. Venezuela is now backed by China&Russia so it adds to the detente. strongVenezuela

Cant make any deals or agreements with the US. they wont keep up thier end of the bargain.

I guess they should believe the US admin because their policies are working so well in the middle east....

Pero allí la nota reconoce sólo a uno Cómo presidente?

Fake news

ConflictsW Transitional government to where?! Venezuela is already a democracy, the opposition is the political minority, they are majority in the National Assembly (same way Democrats are majority in the House of R).

Nada va pasar mano, esa gente no se va entregar... creo que dicen eso solo para demostrar que USA tiene voluntad por ayudar pero Maduro no

que trump es colaboracionista pro mud tambien jaja

USA wants to plunder the oil kill the civilians and pay nothing for it.

Such a ridiculous and deplorable plan...

Me parece una propuesta ridícula pero veremos qué es lo que hace Maduro y se sabe que no aceptará eso es inocente! La idea es volver loco a Maduro y tener más excusas para entrar a Venezuela, lo que viene es Joropo igual el gobierno de transición se formaría al entrar Usa.

Nojoda que bolas!! Por eso no hay que creer en nadie!!!

realDonaldTrump SecPompeo CHAVISMO no es ideologia CHAVISMO es narcoterrorismo NO puede haber transición que condone los crímenes de narcochavistas Escuchen a los venezolanos que permanecemos secuestrados y NO a políticos cómplices

Trump también es un colaboracionista ? LaDivinaDiva eochoa_antich claudioefermin CarlosRaulHer

What?!?!?!

NOOOOOOOOOOO

And as usual, left Venezuela completely out of the discussion. Just something they pulled out of their hindquarters, just like the Middle East proposal.

Esto suena a FAKE NEWS POTUS is this true?

Aspirational

😲😲no entendí, negociar con personeros buscados por la justicia(DEA), por norcostrafi antes?🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

If they solidly move away from socialism, this might be an 'ok' compromise but I would be much happier if that criminal Maduro was outta the way.

guaido ES TRAIDOR A VENEZUELA, DEBE SER JUZGADO Y ENCARCELADO RT

That old bus driver! 😒 he should return to driving buses in Venezuela and let the country be at peace! 😑

Coronavirus preys on what terrifies us: dying aloneOne of the scariest aspects of coronavirus is how it seems to prey on our primal instincts, like the impulse to be close to loved ones suffering and near death. In a painful irony, the very thing we need in moments of fear and anxiety could also kill us. BS Can people who've already had it volunteer to go sit with people dying alone?
