US to Label Maduro-Led Cartel as Terrorist, Weigh Talks
Washington moves to designate Cartel de los Soles as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, signaling possible talks with Maduro amid rising tensions.
Looking ahead, the November 24 deadline will be a critical moment for U.S.-Venezuela relations. The designation could curtail the cartel’s access to international funding and complicate Maduro’s networks, but it may also prompt renewed dialogue or strategic missteps. As Washington signs off on this approach, regional players will weigh their options and monitor any openings for diplomacy amid ongoing tensions.
