The government of Venezuela and the United States broke off relations after Washington ignored the legitimacy of President NicolĂĄs Maduro and recognize the fictitious and illegal interim presidency of former deputy, Juan Guaido.
On the other hand, Obrador highlighted the need for the US to change its policy towards Latin America and the Caribbean. âAn economic, commercial and political integration must be sought, with respect for the sovereignty of the countries. That is the approach that Mexico has.â
