“Some Latin American heads of state will meet with the President in order to give him a general overview of current events in the region,” she said. “There will be several meetings between President Trump and Latin American leaders, and this is one of the important ones. It is important that we take it seriously so that this hemisphere has some weight on the United States’ agenda.”
The meeting speaks to the level of concern officials in the US are feeling about Venezuela and its regime. They are expected to discuss possible attempts at dialogue between the Maduro regime and the Venezuelan opposition.

Dialogues could be a consequence of the pressure brought on by US sanctions, some said, but they still won’t occur unless opposition members believe Maduro will actually come willing to negotiate.
