MONTEVIDEO: Venezuelan opposition politician Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, who fled the country after a tumultuous election and subsequent police crackdown, said that he has plans to speak with US President Joe Biden. Appearing in Argentina, where he met with President Javier Milei, Gonzalez Urrutia added that he was travelling to the United States on Sunday, though it was unclear when the conversation with Biden would take place.
"We are planning a conversation with President Biden and we are waiting for details regarding the new authorities," Gonzalez Urrutia said, referring to incoming US president Donald Trump, set to take over on January 20.
Gonzalez Urrutia's meeting with Milei came at the start of a regional tour aimed at building international support for the man Venezuela's opposition considers the rightful president-elect.
The 75-year-old appeared alongside Milei on a balcony of the Casa Rosada, the Argentine president's official workplace, as hundreds of Venezuelans gathered below on the Plaza de Mayo chanted "Venezuela, you are not alone!" — AFP
