WASHINGTON: A senior US senator has claimed that the United States secretly gave Venezuela’s president a final opportunity to leave the country before mounting diplomatic and economic pressure escalates. The statement has drawn fresh attention to US–Venezuela tensions and the political future of Caracas.
The senator revealed the offer during an interview, saying it was intended to avoid further instability in Venezuela and allow a peaceful political transition.
What the US Allegedly Proposed
According to the claims:
The US Government extended a back-channel proposal
The offer included safe passage and no immediate prosecution
It was framed as a final option before stricter sanctions and political isolation
The objective was to reduce humanitarian and political fallout
The senator added:
“He was given a way out. It was a serious attempt to prevent chaos — not a media talking point.”
US–Venezuela Relations at a Critical Low
Tensions have intensified due to:
Disputed election legitimacy claims
US-imposed economic sanctions
Rising influence of China and Russia in Venezuelan oil sectors
Expanding humanitarian concerns
Global energy market implications
Policy experts say the remarks highlight that Washington is shifting from negotiation tone to high-pressure strategy to force political change in Caracas.
Potential Regional Consequences
The development could impact:
Political alliances across Latin America
Oil trade and energy diplomacy
Migration trends toward the US
Security outcomes in neighbouring states
Global geopolitical positioning
Diplomatic circles believe the offer — if accurate — shows that the United States Senate is openly considering scenarios beyond negotiation with Caracas.
Political Experts Weigh In
International analysts suggest:
“Maduro’s exit could reshape Venezuela’s political map, but may also trigger factional conflict if not managed through regional consensus.”
Conclusion
The claim that the US gave Maduro a chance to leave Venezuela reflects deepening political confrontation and signals the growing likelihood of a post-Maduro transition plan being pursued through pressure, diplomacy, and sanctions.
