Maduro's terms of surrender to Trump

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro proposed conditions to Donald Trump in exchange for stepping down. Sources say he requested to retain $200 million, amnesty for up to 100 officials, and safe haven in a friendly country. The two leaders' phone call ended without agreement over these demands.

Trump suggested fleeing to China or Russia, while Maduro preferred Cuba or Qatar. The U.S. views Edmundo González as the legitimate president following the 2024 election fraud. Trump has intensified pressure on Maduro's government, hinting at possible military action.

Maduro faces challenges from allies over any potential deal, and while a broad amnesty would not be acceptable to the U.S., some officials see military strikes as a possible next option if negotiations fail.
