President Trump Warns Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro To Flee The Nation | JP
U.S. tensions with Venezuela is now at an all time high.
Just days after President Trump announced that the United States may soon launch land strikes on Venezuela, a new report by the Miami Herald has revealed President Trump warned the President of Venezuela to leave the country.
Maduro who has been labeled as the head of the “Cartel de los Soles” cartel which has been designated as a foreign terrorist organization, was reportedly told by Trump that the U.S. will offer him no security guarantees and his best option is to leave the country now.
Fox News reported more on Trump’s call with Maduro:
President Donald Trump delivered a stern ultimatum to Nicolás Maduro to leave Venezuela immediately before announcing the country’s airspace should be closed, according to a report.
Per the Miami Herald, Washington’s warning was delivered in a phone call with Caracas and offered guaranteed evacuation for Maduro, his wife Cilia Flores, and their son, but only if the dictator agreed to resign on the spot.
The conversation stalled, U.S. officials said, and within hours Washington escalated dramatically.
The ensuing impasse, a source told the outlet, was over Maduro asking for “global amnesty for any crimes he and his group had committed, and that was rejected.”
“Second, they asked to retain control of the armed forces — similar to what happened in Nicaragua in ’91 with Violeta Chamorro. In return, they would allow free elections.”
The final issue was timing, according to the outlet, as Washington demanded that Maduro resign immediately – but Caracas refused.
Trump went on to announce Saturday that Venezuelan airspace would be considered “closed in its entirety.”
The Herald also reported that the Maduro government tried to schedule another call to Washington but received no response.
Here’s what Trump told the press when asked about the phone call:

Newsweek reported more on the ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela:
The confrontation has become the most volatile flashpoints in the Americas. U.S. pressure on Caracas stems from accusations that Maduro and senior officials are linked to narcotrafficking networks. Maduro denies that.
Venezuelan leaders say the United States is intent on seizing their nation’s vast natural resources. Maduro has mobilized supporters and is framing the crisis as a battle for sovereignty, using rallies to project internal unity despite deep economic strain and international isolation.
Trump, asked on Sunday if he had spoken to the Venezuelan leader, told reporters on Air Force One that he had.
“I don’t want to comment on it. The answer is yes,” Trump said.
“I wouldn’t say it went well or badly, it was a phone call,” Trump said of the conversation.
Asked if his comment about Venezuela’s airspace being “closed” meant that a U.S. attack on the country was imminent, Trump said: “Don’t read anything into it.”
The New York Times reported on Friday that Trump spoke with Maduro at an unspecified point late in the third week of November.
Maduro and senior members of his administration have not commented on the call, which does not appear to have helped ease the situation.
