Breaking News: President Biden's Administration Denies Amnesty Offer to Venezuelan President Maduro Post-Election
In a recent statement, the White House confirmed that there have been no offers of amnesty to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in exchange for him giving up power following the country's July 28 election. Despite claims from Venezuela's electoral authority declaring Maduro as the winner with 51% of the vote, the United States has not made any specific offers of amnesty since the election.
Rumors circulated after a report from The Wall Street Journal suggested that the US was engaging in secret talks to offer Maduro amnesty to cede power. However, White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre clarified during a briefing that no such offers have been made post-election.
