Venezuela situation is still fluid. Some statements may have been designed to elicit certain responses. Testing the waters, so to speak. I am sure transatlantic telephone lines are busy with highly encrypted traffic. They have to consider DNC concerns.

“PM Modi is a very good man. He's a good guy. He knew I was not happy. It was important to make me happy. They do trade, and we can raise tariffs on them very quickly”.
