US and Venezuela tensions rose after reports said President Donald Trump offered Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro safe passage if he left the country immediately. The offer included Maduro, his family, and top allies. Maduro refused, demanding guarantees of amnesty and control over the military, which the US rejected. After the talks failed, Trump warned that Venezuelan airspace was closed and suggested possible military action.

As tensions escalated, the US sent military forces to the Caribbean. Venezuela blocked some foreign airlines and accused the US of ‘colonial aggression’. Flights were forced to take longer routes, and several airlines stopped flying to the country. Experts warn that Maduro and his top officials now face serious pressure as tensions continue to grow.
