FM Maduro voices government readiness to improve relations

Politics
Foreign Minister Nicolás Maduro said on Thursday that although Venezuela has already expressed its position toward the new government of the United States, it is difficult to speculate about the evolution of US diplomatic relations with the rest of the world.

"You can not speculate only 24 hours after the election results. Everything has its time and speed. It is not convenient to speculate. No one is rushed or desperate. We must let matters take their course," he said.

When asked if the US ambassador would return to the country, Venezuela's top diplomat replied: "everything has its time". However, Maduro said that the Venezuelan government will work "to allow things develop positively. Surely, we will make the required and appropriate decisions."
