Trump Reportedly Spoke with Maduro, Discussed Potential Meeting in US
WASHINGTON – US President Donald Trump engaged in a phone conversation with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro last week, discussing the possibility of a future meeting within the United States, according to a report by the New York Times on Friday. The report, citing multiple sources familiar with the matter, comes as a surprise given the Trump administration’s long-standing policy of not recognizing Maduro’s legitimacy and supporting opposition leader Juan Guaido.
The conversation and potential meeting signals a possible shift in US policy toward Venezuela, which has been under heavy US sanctions aimed at ousting Maduro from power. No further details about the content of the phone call or the specifics of a potential meeting were immediately available. The White House has yet to officially confirm or deny the report. The news is likely to raise eyebrows both domestically and internationally, given the contentious relationship between the two countries.
