Here’s what I found — and what remains uncertain:
âś… What is true / confirmed
Donald J. Trump did recently call on airlines, pilots, drug-traffickers and human-trafficking networks to treat the airspace over and around Venezuela as “closed in its entirety.” That caused a strong reaction from the Venezuelan government, which condemned the move as a threat to its sovereignty.
Venezuela responded by suspending U.S. deportation flights — a move tied to rising tensions after Trump’s statement.
⚠️ What remains unclear / unconfirmed
I found no credible, up-to-date source confirming an “ultimatum” from Trump to Nicolás Maduro (i.e. no verified news piece where Trump sets formal ultimatum terms and Maduro is forced to respond specifically).
There is no public record of a formal decree, sanction set, or diplomatic note matching that description. No major international news agencies (Reuters, AP, BBC, etc.) have run a story with that framing today.
🧠Conclusion
While relations between the U.S. and Venezuela are clearly strained — especially after the airspace-closure call — the claim of a “reported ultimatum” seems to go beyond what the publicly available evidence supports at this moment. It may stem from speculation or mis-characterised statements in social media or minor outlets.
If you like — I can search more deeply (including Spanish-language Venezuelan media) to see if there’s any source making that ultimatum claim (even unofficial or local) — might help clarify if it’s real or rumor.
