The Venezuelan Ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago maintains Nicholas Maduro is the President of his country.

Speaking on i95.5fm’s Take 2 Edition One program yesterday, Carlos Perez was asked to respond to this country’s Opposition Leader Kamla Persad Bissessar, publically recognising Juan Guaido as the President of Venezuela.

In response Mr. Perez said despite that, he is open to meeting with her.

Mr. Perez is hoping the two countries will continue to work together as Venezuela navigates through the ongoing political and economic crisis.
