Trump's 3rd talks message to Maduro in 3 days: US scared of war now?| Venezuela| Caribbean

Donald Trump escalated his criticism of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro while speaking alongside Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House. Trump said Maduro “wants to talk” but claimed Venezuela had “treated us very badly,” accusing Caracas of sending prisoners and drugs into the United States. Trump also refused to rule out military action, even as Washington continues carrying out deadly strikes on alleged Venezuelan “narco boats” in the Caribbean. Caracas has rejected all U.S. accusations, calling them fabricated and part of an “imperialist” push for regime change. Maduro insists the U.S. has no authority to conduct attacks and that the Trump administration is destabilizing the region.
