Trump has warned Maduro: resign and leave.

Trump has reportedly told Maduro how it’s going to be.

US President Donald J. Trump has confirmed that he held a phone call with Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, but declined to comment on the content of the conversation.

Now, reports arise that the confrontational call involved Trump giving Maduro a ‘strongly worded ultimatum’, telling him ‘to resign and leave or else’.

The New York Post reported:

“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.”

“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.”

The tense phone call between Trump and Maduro saw Trump’s and Maduro’s teams discuss the details of a surrender from the ‘tyrant of Caracas’ would be like.

“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.”
