Venezuela’s socialist dictator, President Nicolás Maduro, has said that his government is willing to negotiate an agreement with the United States following months of American military operations targeting drug-trafficking networks connected to his regime.

In a pre-taped interview with Spanish journalist Ignacio Ramonet that aired on state television, Maduro said Venezuela is “ready” to discuss a drug-trafficking agreement with President Donald Trump and urged both nations to “start talking seriously, with data in hand.”

“The U.S. government knows, because we’ve told many of their spokespeople, that if they want to seriously discuss an agreement to combat drug trafficking, we’re ready,” he said.

“If they want oil, Venezuela is ready for U.S. investment, like with Chevron, whenever they want it, wherever they want it, and however they want it.”

Chevron Corp. remains the only major U.S. oil company currently exporting Venezuelan crude to the United States.

Won't Maduro have to get approval from a US federal judge before he can make a deal for his country?

The best thing Trump could do is re-open the main runway at Gitmo.  Maduro could be jailed there and not be able to have lawyers get him out of jail.  Why on earth did they take him to New York?  Anyone involved in drug trade, land them at Gitmo, jail them or escourt them to the north gate, let the Cubans put them to hard labor in the plantations.

If the US has done its job, his cell has more listening devices than Jimmah Caaata had peanuts.  Being a NY jail, you can just about bet he'll be treated like he was still in Venezuela, with phone and computer hookups for him to communicate with anyone he wants.   The US could get a lot of intel by his being "held" in NY.
