US EditionTrump confirms conversation with Venezuela's Maduro
Trump confirmed a recent call with Maduro amid US strikes killing over 80 in drug-trafficking operations and growing military presence in the Caribbean.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump confirmed he spoke by phone with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro earlier this month, The New York Times first reported.
- Since early September, US forces have launched strikes on more than 20 vessels in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific, deploying the world's largest aircraft carrier as Washington says it aims to disrupt drug trafficking, while Caracas contends the real goal is regime change.
- US media reported a September follow-up strike killed survivors, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth denied issuing the alleged order, and Washington has not provided evidence the boats carried narcotics.
- Venezuela's Foreign Ministry denounced the airspace warning as illegal aggression, the campaign heightened regional tensions, and six airlines canceled services despite Caracas's airport operating Sunday.
- The United States also does not recognize Maduro as the legitimate winner of last year's presidential election, and Washington has issued a $50 million reward for him, while Trump warns land operations will start very soon.
