Venezuelan President Maduro stated on January 1 that Venezuela is ready to engage in serious dialogue with the United States on combating drug trafficking.
For months, the U.S. has deployed a large number of naval and air forces in the Caribbean Sea near Venezuela under the pretext of combating "drug terrorism," resulting in the sinking of approximately 30 vessels the U.S. claims are involved in drug trafficking, with over a hundred deaths. In December 2025, Maduro and U.S. President Trump confirmed that they had spoken on the phone.
