Venezuela's Maduro 'ready to talk' as US ramps up pressure

 
Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro has said that he is willing to hold face-to-face talks with representatives of the Trump administration as US pressure on him grows. 
 
President Maduro made the comment hours after US President Donald Trump said he had not ruled out deploying ground forces to the South American country. 
 
The Trump administration has accused Maduro - whose reelection last year was dismissed as rigged by many countries - of being the leader of a drug cartel. 
 
Maduro has denied the allegations and accuses the US of trying to incite a war to gain control of Venezuelan oil reserves.
