U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated on Nov. 17 that he would be willing to talk directly with Nicolás Maduro as he weighs a decision on launching strikes on the country. “Yeah, I probably would talk to him,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Later, he said he would talk to Maduro at a “certain time.” “He’s done tremendous damage to our country,” Trump claimed, adding that it was a “tricky question” of whether there was any scenario in which Maduro could remain in power.
Trump also declined to rule out sending U.S. troops to Venezuela, saying he doesn’t “rule out anything.”
