The U.S. is reportedly negotiating with several countries the possibility that they join its military deployment in the Caribbean, which the Trump administration claims is aimed at countering drug cartels in the region but has escalated tensions with Venezuela's authoritarian government.
Spanish outlet ABC News detailed that Secretary of State Marco Rubio is leading negotiations, which also include Italy and the U.K. The outlet focused on the fact that Spain is not currently involved in such conversations, highlighting the relations that former president Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, a close aide of President Pedro Sanchez, has with the Maduro regime.
