Donald Trump asked Nicolas Maduro to step down, but he refused, demanding a global amnesty for himself and his allies.

In a recent phone conversation, American President Donald Trump asked Nicolas Maduro, the leader of Venezuela, to resign immediately, but Maduro refused, requesting a 'global amnesty' for himself and his collaborators. Trump confirmed the call, mentioning that the discussion did not go well or poorly. Sources reported that Trump sent a direct message, offering Maduro and his family a safe exit from the country, but on the condition that he resigns.

Maduro has requested international immunity and control over the armed forces, refusing to relinquish power. He also accused the U.S. of intentions to control Venezuela's oil resources. Despite military threats from the U.S., many observers believe these are just bluffs. The President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, proposed Cartagena as a location for negotiations between Maduro's regime and the opposition.
