Trump says he will speak “soon” with Maduro

Donald Trump said he will speak “soon” with Nicolás Maduro, in a context of mounting military and political tension between the United States and Venezuela. While Washington maintains a naval presence in the Caribbean under the argument of fighting drug trafficking, Caracas denounces these maneuvers as direct pressure. Maduro insists on a face-to-face dialogue and claims that diplomacy is the only path to peace, but the climate hardens with the designation of the Cartel of the Suns as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, opening the door to further sanctions. The result is a tense geopolitical chessboard: threats, military deployments, and at the same time, speeches invoking “peace” and “conversation.”Lucas y Clara comment: In geopolitics, saying “let’s talk” doesn’t always cool things down… sometimes it just turns up the volume.Lucas y Clara is a podcast by El Comercio. 📩 [email protected] 🌐 www.elcomercio.com
