KEY POINTS

•Nicolás Maduro said on November 21 that his phone call with Donald Trump was 'pleasant,' but later developments were not.
•Maduro welcomed U.S. oil investments specifically mentioning Chevron, despite heavy U.S. sanctions and a blockade on Venezuelan oil tankers.
•Since September, the U.S. military has struck over 30 suspected drug boats in the Caribbean, killing more than 100 individuals involved.

On November 21, 2025, Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro described his phone rendezvous with Donald Trump as 'pleasant,' though apparently their follow-up was about as cozy as a surprise naval blockade. Maduro warmly invited U.S. entities like Chevron to invest wherever, whenever, and however they want—because nothing says 'open business' like being under foreign sanctions and a blockade. The U.S. military has sunk over 30 suspected Colombian and Caribbean drug boats since September, killing 100+ people, maybe while Trump kept whistling 'friendly chat' tunes. Meanwhile, rumors about a 'ground attack' remain an unresolved cliffhanger—because what's an international incident without an off-the-record sequel?
