Trump Praises Venezuela Ties, Signals Possible Trip: ‘It’s a Ten’

U.S. President Donald Trump says he plans to visit Venezuela following a warm reception for his Energy Secretary and expanding cooperation on oil, calling ties “very good” with interim leader Delcy Rodríguez. At the same time, Trump confirmed a second aircraft carrier is deploying to the Middle East as he ramps up pressure on Iran over its nuclear program, warning of “very bad” consequences if talks fail and weighing political moves on Iraq and Ukraine as tensions grow on multiple global frontiers.
