Trump Makes Huge Move Clearing Way For Potential Escalation In Venezuela

President Donald Trump said Sunday he may open talks with Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro as the United States ramps up military pressure with another strike on a suspected drug boat and the arrival of its most advanced aircraft carrier.

The hint of a diplomatic path came after Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. would designate the Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization. Washington alleges the group is run by Maduro.

The designation, set to take effect Nov. 24, places the cartel in the same category as Hamas and the Islamic State. It allows the U.S. government to seize assets and makes it illegal to provide “material support” to the group.

Maduro denies any connection to drug trafficking and accuses Washington of “fabricating” a war against him.

Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, Trump said the U.S. “may be having some discussions with Maduro” and that “they would like to talk.” He did not offer more details.

Asked whether the terror label could allow the U.S. to target Maduro’s personal assets, Trump said, “It allows us to do that, but we haven’t said we’re going to do that.”
