Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is reportedly seeking a negotiated exit from power, proposing a "surrender with conditions" to avoid imprisonment in the United States. The White House is currently evaluating this proposal, which aims to prevent a costly military operation in Venezuela. Maduro has reportedly re-established contact with former US special envoy Richard Grenell, with whom he previously negotiated the release of American hostages. The communication regarding Maduro's disposition was conveyed to the White House within the past thirty minutes, between 7:17 PM UTC and 7:47 PM UTC on September 10th, 2025.
