Washington, DC – Former US President Donald Trump raised the possibility of sending American troops to Venezuela. He stated that “all options are on the table” if the internal situation in the country remains unchanged. His remarks came during a broader political discussion about the crises in Latin America. This occurred amidst escalating tensions between Washington and Caracas.
In response, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro affirmed his willingness to meet with Trump face-to-face.

There is anticipation regarding the consequences of any American move, with increasing talk of a possible new phase of open confrontation. The path could also open to unexpected negotiations.
