The United States has doubled its reward for Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to a record $50 million, accusing him of being one of the world's largest narco-traffickers. US Attorney General Pam Bondi alleges Maduro worked with the Sinaloa Cartel, Tren de Aragua and Cartel of the Suns to flood America with fentanyl-laced cocaine. Washington says it has seized over $700 million in assets tied to him, including jets and vehicles. Caracas dismisses the move as "political propaganda" aimed at distracting from the Jeffrey Epstein controversy. Despite mounting charges, sanctions, and international condemnation over a disputed 2024 re-election, Maduro remains firmly in power in Venezuela.
