November 25, <\/strong>Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka met with Jesus Rafael Salazar Velazques, the Venezuelan ambassador in Moscow, in Minsk on November 25 to hand an invitation for President Nicolas Maduro to visit Belarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belarusian leader said that he would also try to find time to visit Venezuela. \u201cTimes are problematic, complicated and difficult. Nevertheless, a way out can be found of any position or situation,\u201d his press office quoted him as saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The invitation comes two days after the Belarusian strongman condemned \u201cany aggressive actions against independent Venezuela that unjustifiably strain the regional situation in the Caribbean and Latin America.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maduro faces mounting pressure from Washington amid a US military buildup in the Caribbean and strikes on small Venezuelan vessels accused of shipping drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US President Donald Trump said he had not ruled out deploying ground forces to the South American country. Washington accused the Venezuelan ruler of involvement in drug trafficking, an allegation he denied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, Trump also said he was open to possible negotiations with Maduro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
