Trump rejected Maduro requests on call, options narrow for Venezuela leader: Report
Trump offered Maduro a one-week safe passage to leave Venezuela but rejected demands for amnesty and sanctions relief amid ongoing U.S. military pressure and strikes.
- On Nov. 21, President Donald Trump declined sweeping requests from Nicolás Maduro for amnesty and sanctions relief, but offered one week of safe passage for Maduro and his family, Reuters reported.
- Months of U.S. pressure have included at least 21 strikes on alleged drug boats since September, killing at least 83 people, while the United States deployed 15,000 troops and the world's largest aircraft carrier.
- Maduro told Reuters that he would leave if Washington lifted all U.S. sanctions on him and his family, ended an ICC case, and removed sanctions on more than 100 Venezuelan government officials.
- When that safe-passage window expired on Friday, President Donald Trump declared Venezuela's airspace closed on Saturday and convened an Oval Office meeting with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Gen. Dan Caine, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio to plan next steps.
- Any civilian casualties could prompt political blowback, as U.S. military firepower risks catastrophic damage to Venezuelan infrastructure and could trigger a domestic political disaster for President Donald Trump.
