Maduro Likely to Flee to This Country if Leaving Venezuela
Rokna Political Desk: Sources close to the U.S. government have indicated that if Nicolás Maduro, the President of Venezuela, succumbs to mounting pressure from the United States and decides to leave Caracas, there is a specific country he is likely to go to.
According to Rokna, citing The Washington Post, that the Trump administration continues to pursue both “soft and hard exit” options to remove Maduro from power following the 2024 elections, which Washington and more than fifty other countries have described as fraudulent.
The personal and political relationship between Maduro and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the President of Turkey, makes Ankara a logical option for any potential exile agreement. Maduro has referred to Erdoğan as “brother” on several occasions.
According to the newspaper, the personal and political ties between Maduro and Erdoğan—who was among the first leaders to congratulate the Venezuelan president after his controversial victory—position Ankara as a rational choice for any negotiated exile arrangement.
Officials from both countries have held high-level meetings and signed trade and strategic agreements. Maduro has also repeatedly referred to Erdoğan as “brother.”
