As tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela rapidly escalated, Washington's decision to send its largest aircraft carrier to the region increased the likelihood of war. During this period of heightened military pressure, U.S. President Trump made a surprising move by stating that he could meet with Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. Trump also mentioned that he had tasked Secretary of State Marco Rubio with informing Congress.
The military tension between the USA and Venezuela is rising at any moment. The aircraft carrier Gerard R. Ford, which set sail weeks ago, has positioned itself off the coast of Venezuela with escort ships. As the war drums begin to beat faster, a surprising move came from US President Donald Trump. Trump announced that he might hold talks with Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.
ANNOUNCED ON HIS RETURN FROM VACATION
US President Donald Trump answered reporters' questions at the airport before boarding a plane to return to Washington from Florida, where he spent the weekend vacation. In response to a question about whether there was any new development regarding Venezuela, Trump replied, "No, there isn't," and stated, "We may be having some discussions with Maduro, and we will see how that turns out; they want to talk."
When asked whether he had spoken to Congress about Venezuela, Trump replied, "We want to keep Congress in the loop."
SECRETARY OF STATE RUBIO WILL INFORM CONGRESS
Trump noted that he has tasked US Secretary of State Marco Rubio with informing Congress, stating, "We don't have to get their approvals, but I think it's a good thing to keep them informed. The only thing I don't want them to do is leak very important and classified information that could put institutions like the military and the CIA at risk."
