US President Donald Trump confirmed yesterday that he did have a phone call with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro last week.

Speaking aboard the US Air Force One last night, Trump did not reveal any details on what was discussed with Maduro, but said, “I don’t want to comment on that – the answer is yes…I wouldn’t say it went well or badly. It was a phone call.”

Last week the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal had reported on the phone call between the two men, citing a possible meeting between them in the US as one of the things discussed. US State Secretary Marco Rubio was reportedly included on the call, according to the Times.
