Trump rejected Maduro requests on call, options narrow for Venezuela leader, sources say Maduro is running out of options to secure U.S.-backed safe passage to step down. A November 21 call with Trump ended with the U.S. rejecting his requests. The call followed months of rising U.S. pressure, including military actions and terrorism designations. Maduro denies criminal accusations, claiming the U.S. seeks regime change for Venezuela’s resources. He offered to leave if granted full legal amnesty, removal of sanctions, and closure of his ICC case. He also requested sanctions relief for 100+ Venezuelan officials. Maduro asked that VP Delcy Rodriguez lead an interim government before elections.
