Maduro's Drug Cartel? $50M Reward—Is This a Trap?
Tap title to read story
The US has deployed warships to the Caribbean and offered a $50 million reward for Venezuelan President Maduro's arrest, accusing him of drug trafficking. While the US claims Maduro leads a drug cartel, the UN and DEA reports show Venezuela isn't a major cocaine producer; Colombia is. The accusations stem from alleged facilitation of cocaine transport and involvement of Maduro's relatives and associates in drug trafficking. This escalation, following a recent prisoner exchange, has caused internal divisions within the White House, with some opposing further confrontation.
