Washington, DC [US], December 23 (ANI): President Donald Trump said that it would be a "smart" move for Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to relinquish power, as the United States continues to ramp up military and economic pressure on the South American nation.
Responding to questions about whether his administration's current strategy is designed to force Maduro from office, Trump remained noncommittal about the specific endgame but was clear about his advice to the Venezuelan leader.
"Well, I think it probably would," Trump said when asked if the goal was to force Maduro out.
"Can't tell. That's up to him what he wants to do. I think it would be smart for him to do that. Again, we're going to find out."
