According to a startling new report, President Trump offered Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro a way out of the country—only if he departed immediately. In a recent phone conversation, Maduro insisted that he retain command over the military and sought global amnesty for all alleged crimes, a claim cited by the Miami Herald. Trump’s reply was reportedly firm, and the discussion collapsed. Maduro, his wife, and their son could leave Venezuela safely, but they were required to leave at once.

After the talks failed, Trump announced that U.S. airspace over Venezuela would be closed and that the USS Gerald Ford, America’s largest warship, along with a Marine Expeditionary Unit, would be positioned off the coast—ready for an amphibious assault if needed. He warned that U.S. military operations inside Venezuela could begin “very soon.” This is a breaking story; check back for updates.
