Trump Envoy Richard Grenell Engages Venezuelan Officials on January 20, 2025, Declares 'Diplomacy is Back' with Meetings Starting Tomorrow
Jan 20, 2025, 10:35 PM
Richard Grenell, the newly appointed special envoy for Venezuela under President Donald Trump, announced that he has engaged in discussions with multiple Venezuelan officials. Grenell confirmed that he spoke with these officials on January 20, 2025, and plans to continue meetings starting the following morning. He emphasized that 'talking is a tactic' in the context of U.S. diplomacy. This outreach marks an early indication of a shift in U.S. policy towards Venezuela, as Grenell noted that diplomacy is back under Trump's administration. Additionally, Venezuela's chief prosecutor expressed the regime's willingness to restart cooperation with the U.S. regarding the extradition of Venezuelan criminals, suggesting a potential thaw in relations following a period of heightened tensions.
