Donald Trump has reportedly ended all diplomatic outreach to Venezuela, instructing envoy Richard Grenell to cease all efforts as he grows frustrated with authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro’s reluctance to relinquish power.
Trump is also frustrated that Maduro keeps rejecting any ties with drug cartels, The New York Times reported. Officials told the outlet that the administration has drawn up multiple military plans for an eventual escalation.
Why would they want to deal with you, you just had a bunch of their people murdered! Diplomatic relations my ass. The fact that you had military plans already drawn up tells me you aren’t disappointed in the breakdown of communication, you were hoping they would come back with aggression to make the plans easier to justify to your moneybags.
