Guaido's team has been trying to contact Biden without success.
Bloomberg reported on Friday that Joe Biden's advisors are preparing for potential negotiations with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, a sign Biden will break from President Trump's policy.
Sources told Bloomberg that the Biden administration will push for "Free and fair" elections in Venezuela, offering sanctions relief in exchange.
Since January 2019, the US has recognized opposition leader Juan Guaido as the president of Venezuela, despite Maduro still being in office.
According to the Bloomberg report, Guaido's team has been trying to arrange a phone call with Biden since late November, without success.
Guaido's failed coup attempts and calls for US intervention to oust Maduro lost him what little support he had in the country.
US sanctions on Venezuela have exacerbated the country's economic crisis and has had a devastating impact on the civilian population.
