Former Prime Minister of Spain José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero said that if the United States wants stability in Venezuela, it should help its economy, which has suffered for years from a crisis and sanctions, mostly imposed by Washington. Zapatero made this appeal after meeting in Caracas with the parliamentary commission on amnesty, stressing that Venezuela will remain a faithful friend of the U.S. if they contribute to peace. The statement came against the backdrop of the restoration of diplomatic relations between the two countries after a seven-year rift caused by ideological disagreements and sanctions.
