Quick rewind: The one and only call 📞
In a live interview on Thursday, January 1, 2026, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro set the record straight: there was no “second call” with US President Donald Trump. The only chat between the two? A 10-minute convo back on November 21, 2025.
Keeping it cordial… but cautious 🤝
Maduro described that brief call as “respectful and cordial,” but pointed out that some of the US’s moves afterward haven’t felt so friendly. He’s clear on one thing: no war, please. He’s pushing for peaceful vibes 🕊️, wanting good relations with the American people.
New Year, new message 🎉
Just a day before that interview, in his New Year’s Eve address on December 31, 2025, Maduro said Venezuela’s real economy is growing, despite what he calls “external attacks and blockades.” He’s rallying the nation around unity and resistance to imperialist pressures.
