A new wave of uncertainty hits US–Venezuela relations as President Donald Trump confirms he held a phone call with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro — but refuses to reveal what was discussed. Trump downplayed the significance of his recent warning declaring Venezuelan airspace “closed,” insisting it does not signal an imminent military strike.
The revelation came just moments before Maduro made his first public appearance in days, quelling speculation that he had fled the country. Appearing at a coffee awards event in Caracas, Maduro declared Venezuela “indestructible, untouchable, unbeatable,” in what appeared to be a veiled response to rising tensions with Washington.
With both leaders staying vague about their exchange and rhetoric escalating, questions grow over what the phone call really meant — and what could come next.
