Kerry Calls Rodriguez to Normalize US-Venezuela Relations
Published 9 September 2015 (2 hours 15 minutes ago)

The Venezuelan Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez said the call with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was “fluid and at times tense.”

Venezuelan Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez Tuesday said U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry called her in an attempt to normalize relations between the two countries, which became more tense in March after President Barack Obama ordered unilateral sanctions against Venezuela and other attacks on the sovereignty of the South American nation.

The conversation with Kerry was “fluid and at times tense,” Rodriguez said in tweets.

“On Secretary @JohnKerry's request, I received a call today within the framework of the dialogue to normalize our bilateral diplomatic relations,” she said.

1. Why does America have a problem with Venezuela

Could the fact they have oil have something to do with it!!!

2. They were crazy about Venezuela when they controlled the Presidents. I'm sure you're right. n/t

3. I suppose they think Venezuela should make concessions to get the sanctions lifted.

"You do what I say and I won't punish you any more."

Right.

4. Exactly. They also think Cuba should surrender to their dictates to drop the embargo. n/t

5. Just out of curiosity, what sanctions are you referring to? N/t

6. Well, whatever it is "normalizing" would get away from then.

Clearly there is something that needs to be "fixed".

You are right we don't have anything called "sanctions" on them now.
