Trump news at a glance: tensions with Venezuela rise after president’s reported ultimatum to Maduro

• President Donald Trump reportedly issued a direct ultimatum to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, demanding he leave power and the country immediately. This message comes amid a significant escalation in U.S. military presence in the Caribbean, including a naval deployment aimed at increasing pressure on Maduro's regime.
• The ultimatum reflects the Trump administration's ongoing strategy to destabilize Maduro's government, which has faced international criticism for its handling of the Venezuelan crisis, including accusations of human rights abuses and economic mismanagement.
• This development is part of a broader pattern of heightened tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela, marked by Trump's recent declaration that Venezuelan airspace is closed, which Caracas condemned as a 'colonialist threat.' The situation raises concerns about potential military conflict and reflects the complexities of U.S.-Latin American relations.
