Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro confirmed that he spoke to President Trump on the phone recently, but called the conversation “cordial.” This, as the increased U.S. Military presence in the Caribbean, and its extrajudicial killings of dozens of individuals at sea, have sent tensions soaring amid questions of whether the U.S. will more forward with land strikes in Venezuela.
Camila Escalante, an independent journalist and editor of Kawsachun News, noted that she just returned from a visit to Venezuela, where Trump’s claims that the country’s airspace should be considered “closed in its entirety” were ignored, and it was largely business as usual.
She also pointed out that the U.S. seems to be hesitating on moving forward with an attack, which could indicate that the Trump Admin is realizing that any kind war against Venezuela would be a disaster for the U.S.
