In an interview with CNN reporter Stefano Pozzebon, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro's message to Donald Trump was simply "Peace," urging the U.S. to avoid endless wars.
This appeal came as the U.S. launched "Operation Southern Spear," a military operation targeting alleged "narco-terrorists" in the Western Hemisphere, which included the deployment of an aircraft carrier and thousands of troops near Venezuelan waters.
