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).
