President Donald Trump reportedly rebuffed Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro's push for sweeping amnesty during a phone call last week, telling the embattled leader and his senior aides to abandon their demands and leave the country as U.S. pressure intensifies.
Trump and Maduro discussed a broad amnesty proposal during a phone call last week, people familiar with the exchange told The Wall Street Journal.
Maduro reportedly asked for general amnesty for himself, his senior aides, and their families.
Many of those individuals face U.S. sanctions or criminal indictments tied to corruption, drug trafficking, and human rights abuses.
People familiar with the call said Trump rejected the request and warned Maduro that the United States would escalate military actions if he refused to leave Venezuela.
Trump also told key regime officials, including Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino, Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, and National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez, to flee the country, according to the same sources.
Two days after the call, Trump publicly signaled a more rigid posture.
During Thanksgiving remarks at Mar-a-Lago, he said potential land strikes against Venezuela could begin soon.
"The land is easier. That's going to start very soon. We warned them, stop sending poison into our country," he said.
On Saturday, Trump posted a message declaring that the airspace surrounding Venezuela should be treated as closed.
"To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY," he wrote.
The Federal Aviation Administration pointed to a Notice to Airmen issued last week advising pilots to use caution because of "the worsening security situation and heightened military activity."

No Amnesty of any type. President Trump will install the Government he sees fit.
You can watch from your cell window.
I knew three people that died from fentanyl. Maduro needs to hang.
Trump should offer him anything, then explain after he’s arrested that, as Elwood Blues put it, he didn’t lie, he just bulls#itted him a little.
“Maduro Requests Amnesty in Call With Trump”
Well, why not, just about everyone else in his country is requesting Amnesty too, after getting flown here by Biden’s Girls.

I can see where he might like amnesty...................
Trump is right to not give amnesty. Mexico also should not receive amnesty.
Has anyone heard this phone call? That can speak Spanish?

On Friday, Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly announced new sanctions against Venezuelan officials. They target 14 current and former senior officials of the Venezuelan government, “who have engaged in activities that have directly or indirectly supported human rights violations in Venezuela,” according to a news release.
Nothing like a president with some stones. In my 75 years I’ve never seen anyone take the bull by the horns to solve problems like pres. Trump. My idea of a president.
Sure, but only after a conviction by a Military Tribunal, aboard a US Navy Ship, in the declared Venezuelan Conflict Zone, where he will be represented by a JAG Officer.
Maduro can wear his uniform!
He can get the Manuel Noriega Suite.
Cures the Canuckistan “Canadians”, they’re always trying to horn in on American Glory!
Yeah, I like Trump!
Well played, Slim!
Cures = Curse
Just wondering if this is true, that Trump is having phone calls with Maduro, who is begging to be allowed to leave.
Certainly good progress if that’s what’s going on.
The reliability of Western Media, including th Wall Street Urinal does not impress me.
we should be carpet bombing the enemy to our south - Mexico
