US President Donald Trump on Sunday confirmed he had a telephone conversation with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, though he refused to disclose details. 'I don't want to comment on that. The answer is yes,' Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, adding: 'I wouldn't say it went well or badly. It was a phone call.'
While Trump remained tight-lipped, sources familiar with the exchange painted a starker picture. The message was direct: Resign now and receive safe passage for yourself and your family, or face escalating military action.
