The Trump administration, which was charged with a US federal accusation of narcotel and conspiracy to import cocaine in 2020, doubled the prize money of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Thursday, August 8, several news outlets reported.

The US has accused Maduro of being one of the world’s largest drug traffickers and working with the cartel to flood the US with fentanyl-covered cocaine. “Under President Trump’s leadership, Maduro will not flee justice and he will be responsible for sly crimes,” Attorney General Pam Bondy said Thursday. Video Statement We will announce the rewards.

Bondi said, “Maduro uses foreign terrorist organizations like the TDA to bring fatal violence to our country… He is one of the world’s largest narco traffickers and a threat to our national security.”

Maduro was charged in Manhattan federal court in 2020 during the first Trump presidency, along with several close allies, on federal charges of drug trafficking-related terrorism and conspiracy to import cocaine. According to To the parents.

Initially, the United States provided a $15 million reward for arrests. With Joe Biden as president, the prize money was raised to the same reward offered to Osama bin Laden in 2001 after the September 11 attack.

“We are not surprised by this “desperate distraction.”

Maduro shrugged out of grace. He will not leave Venezuela. He has been the most powerful figure in the country for over a decade. In 2024, the European Union and several Latin American governments denounced Maduro’s reelection as a fake.

Venezuelan Foreign Minister Ivan Gill said the new reward was “pathetic” and that he called it “political propaganda.”

“We’re not surprised who it came from,” Gill said. He accused him of attempting a “desperate distraction” from headlines related to backlash against the handling of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s case.
