WASHINGTON – Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo González, who says he won the July presidential election and is recognized by several countries as president-elect, said Monday that he had a fruitful meeting with US President Joe Biden and is in contact with US President-elect Donald Trump.
González’s visit to Washington occurs as part of a regional tour a few days before President Nicolás Maduro, recognized by Venezuela’s highest court and electoral authority as the winner of the elections, takes office for his third term.
“We had a long, fruitful and cordial conversation with President Biden and his team,” González told reporters after the meeting at the White House. “Our team is in contact with President Trump’s team.”
He hopes the relationship with the Trump administration will be close, González added.
