U.S. Offers Amnesty to Maduro for Ceding Power

“The U.S. is pursuing a long-shot bid to push Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to give up power in exchange for amnesty as overwhelming evidence emerges that the strongman lost last month’s election,“ the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The U.S. has discussed pardons for Maduro and top lieutenants of his who face Justice Department indictments, said three people familiar with the Biden administration deliberation. One of the people said the U.S. has put ‘everything on the table’ to persuade Maduro to leave before his term ends in January.”
