Trump Confirms Envoy Richard Grenell Met with Venezuela’s Maduro Over Deportation Flights
U.S. President Donald J. Trump has confirmed that he dispatched Richard Grenell, his former ambassador to Germany and special envoy, to meet today with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Trump described Maduro as a “dictator” responsible for the suffering and poor treatment of the Venezuelan people.
Key Details:
• The meeting reportedly centered around ongoing deportation flights, part of the Trump administration’s immigration policy to return illegal migrants detained in the U.S. back to Venezuela.
• The decision to send Grenell, a trusted figure in Trump’s foreign affairs efforts, highlights the administration’s intent to address deportation logistics directly with Venezuelan leadership, despite strained diplomatic relations.
• Trump reiterated that deportation enforcement remains a key national priority and indicated that future sanctions on Venezuela could be influenced by the outcome of the discussions.
Background:
The U.S. does not formally recognize Maduro as the legitimate president of Venezuela, instead backing opposition leader Juan Guaidó. However, the meeting underscores pragmatic engagement to handle pressing immigration matters.
