The White House confirmed Monday it is reviewing a letter from Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, sent after the first U.S. strike on a Venezuelan boat suspected of carrying drug traffickers. The letter reportedly seeks direct talks between the two nations. The communication from President Maduro was received following the U.S. military action, which President Donald Trump stated was aimed at drug traffickers. The timing of Maduro's letter suggests an attempt to de-escalate tensions or open a new diplomatic channel in the wake of the strike. Details regarding the specific content of Maduro's letter and the White House's initial assessment were not immediately released. Further statements from the administration are expected as the review progresses.
