President of the United States of America Donald Trump had a phone conversation last week with the leader of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, who is wanted on drug trafficking charges. According to "European Truth," this information was confirmed by the publication "The New York Times," citing several sources.
According to sources, during the conversation that took place at the end of last week, Trump and Maduro discussed a possible meeting, although there are currently no such plans. This conversation stood out against the backdrop of rising tensions between the United States and Maduro's regime, which Washington accuses of organizing drug trafficking, including across the Caribbean Sea.
Prospects for Military Action
In light of these events, Donald Trump stated that the United States will "very soon" begin actions against Venezuelan drug traffickers on land. The president noted that since many traffickers are avoiding drug delivery by sea, Washington will take measures to stop their activities on Venezuelan territory.
Since the United States recognized President Nicolás Maduro as a member of a foreign terrorist organization, American forces have concentrated significant power in the Caribbean, raising concerns about possible military operations against Venezuela.
Sanctions and International Relations
According to reports, American forces have already conducted at least 21 strikes against suspected drug boats in the Caribbean and the Pacific Ocean, resulting in the deaths of at least 83 individuals. Trump emphasized that the U.S. administration will continue to fight against drug trafficking, actively considering various strategies for action in this area.
Although Maduro denies any connection to illegal trading operations, his regime continues to remain under international pressure, and concerns regarding military actions from the United States are constantly growing.
