Trump Pushes Venezuela for Agreement Allowing U.S. Troops to Stay
The talks would create a legal framework for ship visits, training and humanitarian missions, officials said, with future troop numbers and sites still undecided.
- The Trump administration is negotiating a status of forces agreement with Venezuela, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio leading talks to establish a legal framework for potential long-term U.S. military presence.

- Venezuelan authoritarian leader Delcy Rodríguez faces increasing pressure to set election dates as negotiations coincide with a delicate political moment regarding the country's next leadership and disputed succession plans.
- Future agreements will determine specific troop numbers and locations; the proposed SOFA aims to promote defense cooperation through training, exercises, and humanitarian assistance frameworks with Venezuelan security partners.
