CARACAS—Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said on Sunday, Nov. 12, the country would never default on its debt, a day before debt talks with creditors that will be overseen by two officials under sanction by the United States.
Vice President Tareck El Aissami and Economy Minister Simon Zerpa will meet with creditors in Caracas on Nov. 13, Maduro said, contradicting earlier reports that sanctioned officials would skip the meeting to reduce investor anxiety about attendance.
