Description:

The U.S. has doubled its reward to $50 million for information leading to the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, accusing him of major involvement in global drug trafficking. Attorney General Pam Bondi linked Maduro to groups like Tren de Aragua and the Sinaloa Cartel, claiming the DEA seized 30 tons of cocaine tied to him and his associates. Venezuela dismissed the move as political propaganda, the BBC has reported. The U.S. previously charged Maduro with narco-terrorism, and tensions remain high following his disputed re-election and ongoing repression of opposition voices.
