Brazilian businessman Joesley Batista offered Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro exile in Turkey

Brazilian businessman Joesley Batista reportedly offered Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro exile in Turkey as part of a U.S. effort to negotiate his departure before a military intervention. The Washington Post revealed Batista, owner of JBS, acted as an informal intermediary for the Trump administration. Proposals included Maduro's resignation and U.S. access to Venezuelan resources. Maduro rejected the offers, leading to the eventual U.S. military action that resulted in his capture. JBS's parent company, J&F, declined to comment.
