Trump Reportedly Orders a Stop to All Diplomatic Talks With Venezuela (VIDEOS)
The board is set. The pieces are moving.
Two days ago, Donald J. Trump presided over a grand celebration marking the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Navy’s founding called: Titans of the Sea: A Salute to the Fleet.
Trump headlined a massive rally-like gathering, joined by First Lady Melania Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Navy Secretary John Phelan.
In his 45-minute speech, Trump explicitly mentioned Venezuela multiple times, celebrating that ‘the Navy has supported our mission to blow the cartel terrorists the hell out of the water’.
He also hinted at land-based operations, saying the U.S. would ‘turn attention to drug trafficking happening on land’.
WATCH: ‘They’re not coming by sea anymore — now we’ll hunt them on land’.

So, it’s no surprise when we hear reports that Trump has ‘called off efforts to reach a diplomatic agreement with Venezuela’.
The President reportedly told his special envoy Richard Grenell to ‘stop all outreach’.
Reuters reported:
“The news, which was first reported by the New York Times, follows a series of military strikes on vessels carrying drugs near Venezuela. Trump told Congress that the U.S. is engaged in ‘a non-international armed conflict’ with drug cartels.
Although Trump is reportedly considering strikes inside the South American country, the U.S. official told Reuters that the president has not yet determined whether to advance his military campaign to a second phase.”
“Trump delivered the message to Grenell during a meeting in the Oval Office last Thursday with senior military leaders, the senior official said.
[…] Tensions between Washington and Caracas have intensified since Trump returned to the White House in January with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro denying U.S. allegations that drugs were being produced in the country, and claiming that the U.S. is hoping to drive him from power.”
