The top commander overseeing US forces in Latin America, General Francis Donovan, and senior Pentagon official Joseph Humire made a surprise visit to Venezuela on Wednesday for security talks.

Axar.az informs, citing Reuters, the trip is the first by a US military delegation since US forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

Venezuela’s government said the US military delegation met interim President Delcy Rodriguez, Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino and Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello. The two sides agreed to work together to combat drug-trafficking, terrorism and migration, it added.

Both Padrino and Cabello face indictments related to drug trafficking in the United States.
