Republican lawmakers reveal: The US is giving Maduro a chance to go into exile, he can go to Russia
Amid concerns that the US may take military action against Venezuela, a Republican congressman revealed on November 30 that the US has offered Maduro an opportunity to leave the country and suggested he go to Russia or other countries.
According to a report by the Miami Herald, Trump recently called Maduro and asked him to step down and hold new elections in Venezuela. Maduro requested to retain his military power and global amnesty, which was rejected by Trump. A large number of US troops have gathered off the coast of Venezuela, and Trump has continuously issued new threats, with the possibility of war breaking out at any time.
US Congressman Mullin said on a CNN program: "We gave Maduro an opportunity to leave. We told him he could leave Venezuela and go to Russia or other countries."
When asked whether Trump planned to attack Venezuela, Mullin clarified: "Trump has been very clear, the US will not send troops into Venezuela. What we are doing now is just to protect the US coast."
However, Graham, a staunch supporter of Trump and a senator, criticized Maduro as an "illegal president" on November 29, and said that Trump is considering ending Maduro's regime. Graham also implied that Turkey and Iran are good options, and Maduro can go to these countries. It is worth noting that Trump's advisors had previously discussed secretly sending Maduro to other countries around the world, with Russia, Iran, and Turkey all considered potential places for his exile.
