Trump hints at talks with Nicolas Maduro

Cape Times

November 18, 2025

DONALD Trump suggested at the weekend that future talks with Venezuelan counterpart Nicolas Maduro could be on the table, as a regional US military buildup has whipped up tensions between the nations.

The US president spoke after Washington further upped the ante by announcing plans to designate as a terrorist group a cartel that it claims Maduro runs.

“We may be having some discussions with Maduro, and we'll see how that turns out,’ Trump told reporters in Florida, adding: “They would like to talk”

Pressed for more details, he replied: “Venezuela would like to talk. What does it mean? You tell me, I don’t know... I'd talk to anybody.”

At the weekend, the US State Department said it would classify Cartel de los Soles (Cartel of the Suns) - which it claims is headed by Maduro - as a foreign terrorist organisation (FTO).
