Trump envoy for special missions Richard Grenell is reportedly being criticized by fellow officials over his more conciliatory tone regarding Venezuela, according to a new report

Richard Grenell, the Trump administration's envoy for Special Missions, confirmed that he has been in dialogue with Venezuela's authoritarian President Nicolás Maduro "on President Trump's orders," even as Washington increases military pressure on Caracas.

A former State Department lawyer said that the U.S.'s military presence off the Venezuelan coast, despite being "significant," it is "not what you would need to actually invade."

The Trump administration said it's shifting hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign aid to "confront the Marxist, anti-American regimes of Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua" as it ramps up pressure on Caracas.

Cuban Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernandez de Cossio said the regime won't provide military support to Venezuela should the country enter a war with the U.S.

Authorities described the returnees as having faced "a difficult experience" and emphasized that they are now prepared to reunite with relatives and "begin a new stage filled with love and hope"

According to the country's Interior Minister, the detainees confessed the shipment was part of a "false flag operation" designed to incriminate Venezuela in international drug trafficking

"International law does not allow governments to simply murder alleged drug traffickers," said the three independent UN experts in a statement on Tuesday

"There are plenty of tools that the U.S. government can use on the peaceful side" said Richard Grenell

With tensions running high between Venezuela and the United States, officials from Nicolás Maduro's regime issued a warning to neighboring countries, saying that attacks launched from the territories of Guyana or Trinidad and Tobago would provoke retaliation.
