The White House is currently not negotiating with the Maduro regime in Venezuela, a Bloomberg reported claimed, as the deadline for the designation of the Cartel de los Soles as a terrorist organization, which would pave the way for military action against its alleged members, approaches.
Citing a White House official, journalist Eric Martin confirmed that there are no ongoing negotiations even though President Donald Trump said days ago that authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro wants to dialogue and that such a scenario could take place. The New York Times had reported that Trump had in fact authorized back channel negotiations with the regime.
