Trump gave Venezuelan dictator Maduro stern ultimatum — leave now or else: report

President Trump gave Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro a strongly worded ultimatum as tensions flared with the South American nation — telling him to resign and leave or else, according to a bombshell report.

During a call between Trump and Maduro, the socialist president demanded that he be allowed to maintain control of Venezuela’s military if he paved the way for free elections there, said the Miami Herald, citing sources. Maduro also reportedly sought global amnesty for all of his alleged crimes.

Trump’s refusal on both counts was said to be swift as he followed up with an offer that Maduro may not be able to refuse: Leave now or else.

The pair’s talks quickly broke down, with a US pol Sunday lamenting that the ongoing “war” between both sides is already deadlier than Vietnam for his state.

“We have a war that’s coming through fentanyl, through opioids, through cocaine,” US Sen. Dave McCormick (R-Pa.) told “Fox News Sunday,” referring to the avalanche of drugs from Venezuela to the US that Trump blames Maduro for and is trying to stop.


“It killed 100,000 Americans last year,” McCormick said of the drug trade. “That’s twice the number of people that died in eight years of Vietnam — 4,000 Pennsylvanians.”

After the phone call between Trump and Maduro failed to reach a detente, the US president announced he was closing the airspace around the South American country — as America’s largest warship, the USS Gerald F. Ford, and a Marine Expeditionary Unit — capable of amphibious invasion — float offshore

Trump only told reporters Sunday that he spoke with Maduro recently, adding, “I wouldn’t say it went well or badly.”

The tense phone call between Trump and Maduro reportedly took place late in the week of Nov. 16, according to the New York Times, just days after Trump said he was open to talking with the dictator.

The call reportedly saw Trump’s and Maduro’s teams go over the details of what a surrender from the Venezuelan strongman would be like, given that the state department has a bounty on his head for $50 million.

Trump informed Maduro during their chat that he, his wife and son would be allowed to leave Venezuela safely, but they must do it immediately, sources said.
First, Maduro asked for global amnesty for any crimes he and his group had committed, and that was rejected,” a source familiar with the call told the Herald.

“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 source said.
The offer of amnesty was also extended to Maduro’s top allies, the Herald noted.

After the breakdown, Trump ramped up pressure on Venezuela and warned that the US would target drug-trafficking networks “by land” soon.

By Saturday, he made an announcement on social media that Venezuela’s airspace should be considered “closed in its entirety,” stoking fears of a looming war in the South American country of 28 million people.

What i don't understand about this fentanyl war is , if there is no buyer, will there be a seller..
What happens to educating their citizens on the danger of abuse.. I once read a documentary where the CIA was fingered to be part of the trade.
If Venezuela was shut down today because of their drug export to US, there are many countries that will replace them.

Also, Venezuela is an Oil producing nation, the largest deposit, why are they exporting drugs when they have a God given natural resources that can be converted to fund

Trump is a no nonsense man

There is one currently in aso rock who needs the same instruction with his family, the damage they have done to Nigeria and still doing is more than enough not to even grant them asylum.

lol

You seriously believe this is about drugs?

If they are looking for drugs, they will go and invade their neighbors in Mexico.

Trump thinks this is still the 90s where America can wake up and invade any country using flimsy excuses in other to steal their oil.

I don’t understand
How can you be ordering a president like that

Move or I move you - Hannibal Achuzia

For this life try dey powerful e get why. The same trump way they beg Russia na they threaten Venezuela

Tinubu does not like this message

Trump don't make empty threats

.he will surely deal with Nicholas Maduro at the expiration of the ultimatum.

after Venezuela..
Guess where will be next?

you know what they say, too much power in one man's hand is dangerous.

Now imagine too much power in the hand of a megalomaniac clown.

Yeah, the CIA helped the rebels in Nicaragua with drug sale in the 80s...the Reagan era.

Trump is evil
Wonder why people hate America?
Here is your answer.
You can’t just go around attacking sovereign states because you have the power!

Venezuela is not a hub of fentanyl. It is not even in the top three of cocaine inflow into the US

It’s never about the drugs but oil

Not when criminal gangs deliberately target minors and vulnerable(depressed, lonely, poor) people in the society. It's a tricky one, imagine your teenage kids being approached outside schools or other public places where no one is there to advise them better, kind of the same reason you have an age limit on movies

Trump is just a bluffer. Send troops let's know you mean business

You claim to be making peace around the world while at the same time bullying weaker nations.

Trump is a bully and will never win the Nobel peace prize.

Sahala don pass ordinary eyes o 😂😂😂

Gerrout.

Orange Bumpkin.

The world power has spoken una must comply after Venezuela we know which country is next.

You go tire.
You go wail in perpetuity.

All hail the great Jagaban!

Hmmm ... a democratically elected President is asked to leave office by the champion of democracy. Even dictators don't do this. Dementia makes one believe he is God.

You mistake "no nonsense" for bullish, annoying, autocratic, undiplomatic, dictatorial and disrespectful tactics.

You're correct, they said it takes two to tango.

I also wonder why drug trafficking,does it mean drug is lucrative than oil.

Wailing and crying is free for the emergency lover of Nigeria.

Kudos to Nafdac and Brig Gen. Marwa that is dealing with your people.

Maduro is a dictator but saudi leaders and Paul Biya of Cameroon aren't?

Once you refuse to bend a knee, they come up with their media war.
