Ric Grenell, Trump’s envoy for Venezuela, is sidelined amid clashes over diplomacy with Maduro, as U.S. strikes raise human rights concerns.
Ric Grenell, Trump’s special envoy for Venezuela, faces internal criticism for reportedly pushing diplomacy with President Nicolás Maduro, conflicting with the administration’s hardline approach.
While Grenell claims he continues to engage Maduro at the president’s request, senior officials say he is no longer involved in policy, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio now leading efforts.
The administration has conducted military strikes on vessels off Venezuela’s coast—killing 11 to 17 people—raising human rights concerns and drawing criticism.
Critics argue Grenell’s public comments undermine U.S. messaging and may benefit Maduro, while some analysts support back-channel talks if tied to verifiable reforms.
The White House and Grenell have not commented.
