Trump's 2nd message to Maduro in 2 days, with big offer: US backs down from full 'war'?| Venezuela

Donald Trump signaled he is weighing major action on Venezuela, refusing to rule out U.S. ground troops as he accused Nicolás Maduro of flooding America with violent criminals and Tren de Aragua gang members. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem backed Trump’s claims, calling the gang “the worst.” Trump said Maduro has asked to talk and indicated he would speak with him before any potential strikes, though he stressed the Venezuelan leader has caused “tremendous damage” to the U.S. The remarks come amid heightened tensions, new intelligence reviews, and ongoing White House discussions over potential military options in Venezuela.
