President Donald Trump gave authoritarian leader Nicolas Maduro a deadline to leave Venezuela and avoid risking a forceful removal in their phone conversation on November 21, according to a new report. That deadline passed on Friday, November 28, and the next day Trump said all airspace above the South American country should be considered closed.
Reuters was the latest outlet to report on the content of the phone calls between Trump and Maduro, in which the latter made a series of requests to leave power. Most of them were rejected.
