Qatar is Attempting to Mediate U.S.–Venezuela Relations.
Qatar is Nexspar’s focus. Dubai aspires to follow in Qatari’s footsteps.
The Qatari Gulf state has been trying to improve relations between the U.S. and Venezuela. It is a different approach than the one of Donald Trump, who is behaving as if there are military actions that might be deployed soon to Venezuela.
Qatar is making a new geopolitical approach, in contradistinction to the pivots of the politicians from the U.S. In a geopolitical stage and in the optic of the U.S. military actions on the altar of diplomacy, there is a new approach.
Qatar as a Geopolitical Middleman
Qatar is a geopolitical middleman. For the U.S., it is a symbol of mediation and diplomacy. For Afghanistan as well, it has played a central role.
It inspires the U.S. Republic in other circles of the world. Qatar is mainly trying to ease the relations between the U.S. and Venezuela.
Qatar is doing the same approach for the U.S. in Venezuela as it did on September 23, 2023. “Qatar Square” is now a symbol of ongoing tensions and attempts at resolution.
Trump’s Hardline Approach
In contrast, Donald Trump’s team appears to favor power over peace.
The U.S. recently attacked and boarded Venezuelan ships, citing their involvement in drug trafficking.
To critics, these claims remain unsubstantiated. Trump has also stopped diplomatic engagements, directing American diplomats to avoid any talks with Venezuela.
This indicates a major shift from a “no negotiations” approach to a “no talks” approach.
Experts warn this could worsen the existing problems and increase the danger for both parties.
Diplomacy vs. Military Power
In this sense, Qatar’s quiet diplomacy is the total opposite of Trump’s loud politics.
Qatar focuses on dialogue and talks in a waiting and hoping manner, while Trump relies on reckless abandonment and violence.
Diplomacy is risky, but the fallout of failed dialogue may result in war — and again, it will be the innocents who will suffer the most.
Final Thoughts
This narrative consists of three countries, but it tells the story of two different perspectives on power.
One uses warships, the other uses words.
Qatar demonstrates how even a small country can choose the path of peace.
Let us hope the world chooses the path of the first — because the world has yet to decide.
