According to CNN, Trump said on the 11th that he was willing to meet with Venezuelan acting president Rodriguez. Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, "We're working very well with the leadership, let's see how it ends."

The report stated that Trump did not provide a timeline for a possible meeting with Rodriguez, or for a possible visit to Venezuela by himself or Secretary of State Rubio.

On January 3, the United States launched a large-scale military operation against Venezuela, forcibly taking control of Venezuelan President Maduro and his wife and bringing them to the United States. The Trump administration declared that it would "manage" Venezuela and exploit its huge oil reserves.

Following the news of the US raid on Venezuela and the arrest of Maduro and his wife, governments, political figures, and regional organizations from many countries condemned the US military action against Venezuela and called for adherence to the UN Charter.
