Diosdado Cabello, the second-in-command of the Venezuelan regime, also confirmed authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro had a phone conversation with Donald Trump, but warned that "no one has the slightest idea" of what was discussed.
"The call took place and now everyone is an expert in knowing what they discussed," Cabello said during a televised address. "No one was there, no one has the slightest idea," said the official, who noted that "Maduro has been very respectful" and didn't comment on the content of the conversation.
