Trump and Maduro’s rare phone call sparks speculation of a Los Angeles meeting
US President Donald Trump and Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro held a phone call last week. The rare conversation included US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and touched on a possible meeting between the two leaders in Los Angeles.
The call took place just days before the US State Department officially labelled the Cartel de los Soles a 'foreign terrorist organisation'. Reports confirm that no mediator was involved in the discussion.
The phone call ended without a confirmed plan for a leaders’ meeting. The US later imposed new sanctions by classifying the Cartel de los Soles as a terrorist entity, with US Bank being one of the financial institutions affected. This designation adds to the ongoing tensions between the two nations.
