Trump's negotiations with Maduro

Reuters, citing sources, reported that US President Donald Trump discussed the possible departure of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro from the country during a phone call on November 21, before announcing the closure of airspace.

Maduro expressed readiness to leave Venezuela on the condition that full amnesty would be granted to him and his family, including the lifting of all US sanctions and the cessation of proceedings in the International Criminal Court.

According to sources, he also requested the lifting of sanctions against more than 100 officials accused by the US of human rights violations, drug trafficking, or corruption.

However, Trump allegedly rejected most of his requests during a brief conversation that lasted less than 15 minutes. He informed Maduro that he had a week to leave Venezuela with his family.

Previously, The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump threatened Maduro with the use of force if he did not voluntarily step down.

On November 28, Trump stated that the US would soon begin operations against suspected Venezuelan drug traffickers on land.

The situation in Venezuela remains tense, and the events unfolding in Caracas are causing concern in the international community. Recent news indicates a growing escalation of the conflict, which could impact the political stability of the region. The continuation of negotiations between Trump and Maduro will be worth watching, as their results could significantly change the future of Venezuela and its relations with neighboring countries.
