Venezuela’s interim leader on Thursday urged US President Donald Trump to lift punitive sanctions and a US oil blockade, calling the nations “friends”, after Washington’s capture and ouster of Nicolas Maduro. Trump ordered the blockade in December, and US forces seized Maduro and his wife, flying them to New York for trial.
