Four informed sources have confirmed that U.S. President Donald Trump rejected a series of requests from his Venezuelan counterpart Nicolás Maduro during a brief phone call last month. This has diminished the options available to the Venezuelan leader for stepping down.
According to the sources, Maduro attempted to negotiate terms for his resignation, but Trump refused to make any concessions. This rejection, reportedly, has significantly narrowed the possibilities for a peaceful political transition in the country.
