US Secretary of State Rubio told Fox News rebuilding Venezuela is not limited to ousting President Maduro and requires a multi-step roadmap: first stabilise the country to prevent further unrest and large-scale migration; next pursue economic recovery and measures to attract investment; and finally hold legitimate democratic elections. He said durable peace after more than 25 years of political division will require national reconciliation.

US sources said on July 31 that during a recent US visit Ukrainian President Zelenskiy asked President Trump and other US officials to persuade SpaceX founder Elon Musk to allow Ukrainian forces to use SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet system to strike ballistic missile launchers inside Russia. Multiple sources said Zelenskiy raised the request in a closed‑door White House meeting with Trump on July 28. Russia has begun deploying a similar low‑Earth‑orbit satellite system. Zelenskiy said Ukraine needs higher‑precision strikes on Russian missile launchers before winter to deter a Russian winter offensive and curb attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
