💨 Abstract

Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro has proposed talks with the U.S. on combating drug trafficking and offered U.S. companies access to Venezuelan oil. In a New Year's Eve interview, Maduro portrayed Venezuela as a "brother country" to the U.S. and expressed readiness for serious discussions. This shift in tone comes amid U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean and accusations by President Trump of Maduro running a narco-state.
