MOSCOW—Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said on Jan. 30 that he is willing to negotiate with his opposition after opposition leader Juan Guaido called for new street protests.

Opposition leader Juan Guaido is looking to ratchet up pressure on President Nicolas Maduro with walkouts across Venezuela on Jan. 30, just a day after the embattled socialist administration barred Guaido from leaving the country while he is investigated for alleged anti-government activities.
