Maduro would be open to a managed exit if the United States provides amnesty for him and his top lieutenants, lifts its bounties, and facilitates a comfortable exile, people who have dealings with the Caracas regime say. “If there is enough pressure, and if there is enough candy in the dish,” the person who speaks to officials in both countries said, “everything is on the table with Maduro.”
Of course, one needs to view the ‘managed exit’ thing with a grain of salt given the source and timing of what’s going on.
Of note, Trump’s Venezuela envoy Richard Grenell was originally tasked with negotiating a deal with Maduro that would allow:
- U.S. access to Venezuela’s oil and minerals
- Crackdowns on gangs/drug transit
- Release of detained Americans
- Resumption of deportation flights to Venezuela
While Grenell secured early concessions, including the release of six American hostages, Trump abruptly ended Grenell’s negotiations after Secretary of State Marco Rubio pushed for a more aggressive strategy.
Grenell, however, had made headway in negotiating a "managed exit" for Maduro.
