Trump told Maduro in call he must leave Venezuela in order to save himself and his family: report

President Trump gave Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro a chance to escape the country with his life — but he had to do it immediately, according to a bombshell report.

During a call between Trump and Maduro last week, the South American dictator demanded that he be allowed to maintain control of the military and wanted global amnesty for all crimes, according to the Miami Herald, citing sources.

Trump’s response was reportedly blunt, and the talks quickly broke down. Maduro, his wife and son would be allowed to leave Venezuela safely, but they must do it immediately.

Following the failed attempt to reach a detente, Trump announced he was closing the airspace around the South American country — as America’s largest warship, the USS Gerald Ford, and a Marine Expeditionary Unit — capable of amphibious invasion — float offshore.

Trump warned over the weekend that military operations inside Venezuela could begin “very soon.”
