VENEZUELA DETAINS MANY AMERICANS
By: Derek Varsalona
Dictator Maduro and his regime have detained many Americans in escalating tensions between him and President Donald J. Trump. He is using them as bargaining chips for a greater conversation with President Trump. Now, let us see if the Negotiator in Chief, President Trump, can seal a deal to bring the detainees home, not harmed. President Trump campaigned on his ability to be a tough negotiator. Now, let us see if he can make a deal to bring them home with their safety and lives on the line.
Dictator Maduro is using these prisoners as bargaining chips. I am not for an all-out war with Maduro just yet. Let us see if US Envoy to Venezuela Richard Grenell can work with President Trump and Dictator Maduro to bring the prisoners home safely.
We tried the old former President George W. Bush tactic of not negotiating with terrorists. That did not work in the long run. You must always negotiate with your adversaries. President Trump says that he is a great deal maker and negotiator. Now he is put to the test with Maduro. I hope he does not let America down. As always, comments are accepted.
