Richard Grenell, the Trump administration's envoy for Special Missions, confirmed that he has been in dialogue with Venezuela's authoritarian President Nicolás Maduro "on President Trump's orders," even as Washington increases military pressure on Caracas.
"I've spoken to Mr. Maduro, I've gone down to Venezuela, and I continue to talk to his team," Grenell said an interview with CBS. Maduro recently claimed he has sent letters to Washington and offered to hold talks directly with Trump.
