President Trump reportedly gave Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro an ultimatum during a November phone call to resign immediately and leave with his family or face military consequences. Maduro demanded global amnesty for crimes and military control in return for elections, which Trump rejected. Following the failed negotiations, Trump declared Venezuelan airspace closed and deployed significant naval forces, while military experts suggest imminent operations targeting the Maduro regime may begin soon.
