With long-standing tensions between the US and Venezuela intensifying, the US continues to highlight allegations against Maduro, who remains accused of violent repression and political opposition suppression, all while he holds onto power amid international scrutiny.
---
The US has intensified its efforts to apprehend Nicolás Maduro by doubling the reward for his arrest to $50 million. The increase comes amidst accusations of his involvement in large-scale drug trafficking operations.
US Attorney General Pam Bondi has labeled Maduro as one of the world's largest narco-traffickers and linked him to organized crime groups while Venezuelan officials dismiss the reward as political propaganda. The ongoing friction between the US and Venezuela underlines the complexities of international relations in the wake of contentious elections and increasing allegations against Maduro's regime.
The announcement follows a contentious electoral process earlier this year, and the US continues to allege Maduro’s repression of dissent within the country as protests and political instability continue to mar the region.
