Venezuelan government and opposition faction are to hold talks | Inside Story

The last seven months have seen Washington insert itself into Venezuela's politics and economy. It started with the US capturing President Nicolas Maduro in January and taking him to New York to face drug-trafficking charges. The US now determines how Venezuela accesses its oil revenues - the mainstay of its economy. The White House has also backed interim leader Delcy Rodriguez - while brokering talks between the Venezuelan government and opposition factions. But high-profile opposition figure and Nobel laureate Maria Corina Machado has been sidelined. Is Washington dictating the agenda of the talks?
