In the shadow of an expanding military campaign that has claimed at least eighty-two lives since September, Donald Trump offered a quiet signal of possible diplomacy toward Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro — a gesture that arrives not in stillness, but amid the noise of carrier groups, fighter jets, and White House meetings devoted to planning strikes on Venezuelan soil.
