Donald Trump has publicly said so much about his great project to kidnap Maduro and then run its oil resources. So much said and so much for us to worry about.
President Maduro has only said “Happy New Year” that we have heard and that’s probably all we will hear from him for a while.
Would fewer words in total, but honestly at a negotiating table, have been a better approach? I doubt that it would have been possible or successful.
