Trump claims Maduro offered him “everything” to avoid conflict with the U.S.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Nicolás Maduro offered him “everything” to avoid a confrontation with Washington. According to The New York Times, Maduro allegedly proposed opening oil and gold projects to American companies, redirecting energy exports from China to the U.S., and even ending deals with Russia and Iran. The Miami Herald further reported that Delcy and Jorge Rodríguez, senior Venezuelan officials, supposedly suggested forming a transitional government without Maduro in exchange for easing sanctions. These claims come amid rising military tensions, following the deployment of U.S. troops and Trump’s alleged authorization of CIA covert operations in Venezuela. Vice President Delcy Rodríguez denied the reports, insisting that “Venezuela does not negotiate its sovereignty.”Lucas and Clara comment: Between gold and oil offers, diplomacy starts to sound like an auction. 📩 Listen to the full episode and more stories on our platforms. 📧 [email protected] | 🌐 www.elcomercio.com
