flag Trump halts U.S.-Venezuela talks over drug trafficking and naval incident, escalating tensions.

flag President Trump has halted U.S. diplomatic talks with Venezuela, ending negotiations led by special envoy Richard Grenell, according to multiple reports citing U.S. officials. flag The move, reportedly driven by frustration over Venezuela’s refusal to address drug trafficking allegations and a recent military flyby of a U.S. Navy ship, follows unauthorized U.S. strikes on suspected drug-trafficking vessels near Venezuela’s coast, resulting in at least 21 deaths since September. flag While Trump has not confirmed plans for land-based military action, he has signaled a shift toward targeting drug networks onshore, raising concerns about potential escalation. flag The decision comes amid heightened tensions since Trump’s return to office, with Venezuela denying U.S. claims and the White House offering no further details on current strategy.
