US EditionUS Southern Command Chief Meets Venezuela's President Weeks After Maduro's Capture
Marine Gen. Francis Donovan's visit marked the first U.S. military delegation to Caracas since the capture of Nicolás Maduro, focusing on security, drug trafficking, and Trump's phased plan.
- A surprise U.S. military delegation to Caracas yesterday included General Francis Donovan and a senior Pentagon official, Southern Command said.
- After virtually no high-level visits in recent years, the trip follows a U.S. Secretary of Energy's visit last week, according to Southern Command.
- Officials said the talks emphasized cooperation on drug-trafficking, terrorism, migration, and steps to implement the three-phase plan to stabilize Venezuela, as stated by Southern Command.
- The discussions carry economic and security implications because Washington signaled it will manage Venezuela's oil business indefinitely and maintains a U.S. naval presence, while Venezuela's government emphasized diplomacy as the preferred path.
- Yesterday, the head of Southern Command, assumed on February 5, met with interim President Delcy Rodriguez, Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino, and Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello in Venezuela.
