Maduro said to have rejected Trump's ultimatum

 Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro rejected an ultimatum from US President Donald Trump in late December 2025, refusing to step down and go into exile in Turkey, the New York Times reported on Sunday, citing American and Venezuelan sources involved in the negotiations.

"Mr. Maduro in late December rejected an ultimatum from President Trump to leave office and go into a gilded exile in Turkey," the outlet said.

Weeks earlier, US officials identified Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez as Maduro's temporary successor. The journal added that intermediaries were able to persuade the Trump administration that Rodriguez would "protect and support" future US investments in Venezuela's energy industry. One source claimed that the US thinks it can collaborate with Rodriguez on a more professional level than with Maduro.
