Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo González Urrutia, recognized by several countries as the president-elect following the country's disputed elections in July, met with U.S. President Joe Biden on Monday. He described the encounter as "long and fruitful."
The talks come amid ongoing tensions as Nicolás Maduro prepares to claim a third term on January 10 despite not presenting supporting documentation. The regime issued a $100,000 reward for information leading to González's arrest as he has anticipated his willingness to return to Venezuela ahead of the date.
