Looks like Assange may go from the loving arms of the Ecuadorian Embassy to London's finest cell when he is evicted, which is now imminent.

Ecuador denies WikiLeaks claim it plans to release Julian Assange
The Ecuadorian government on Friday rejected claims by WikiLeaks that founder Julian Assange would be ousted from his sanctuary at the country's embassy in London "within hours to days."
Ecuador's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement released Friday that the allegation was "an attempt to stain the dignity of the country," according to an NBC News translation. Ecuador "has made significant expenditures to pay for his stay" and has "endured its rudeness," the ministry continued.

Obviously, Trump is unable to control his own situation either and that for quite a long time. With the current US regime operating in strongly decoherent mode, Assange's very life may well depend on which particular deep state faction hands he will fall into when extradicted. My opinion is, it is actually Assange's Russophobia which prevented him to keep his freedom, Snowden was not that stupid.

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.

Though nothing is preventing Trump from preempting the situation right now, by issuing a full pardon for all crimes Assange may have committed against the US. The deep state and their MSM mouthpieces will wail and gnash their teeth, but it would be over.
However, from what I heard, Trump doesn't really look so favorably upon Assange.
