Peru shamans foretell illness for Trump, Maduro's exile in 2026 [View all]

LIMA, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Shamans in Peru gathered for an annual New Year's ritual on Monday where they made predictions for the year to come, including illness for U.S. President Donald Trump and the downfall of Venezuelan counterpart Nicolas Maduro.

"The United States should prepare itself because Donald Trump will fall seriously ill," Juan de Dios Garcia proclaimed as he gathered with other shamans on a beach in southern Lima, wearing colorful ponchos and sprinkling flowers on the sand.

The shamans also foretold the end of Russia's war in Ukraine. "I see that the conflict will end, they will raise the flag of peace," Garcia predicted.

The ceremony is performed every year in late December. The shamans had previously predicted an end to the Ukraine war - in 2023.
