(Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday that his administration may be open to talks with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who faces increasing pressure from the United States amid a military buildup in the Caribbean.

“We may be having some discussions with Maduro, and we’ll see how that turns out,” Trump told reporters on Sunday evening in West Palm Beach, Florida, before getting on a flight back to Washington. “They would like to talk.”

Trump offered no further details about the possibility of talks, though he suggested he would keep up the pressure on the Maduro regime.

“We’re stopping drug dealers and drugs from coming into our country,” Trump said.

The Venezuelan communications ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
