US raises reward for Nicolás Maduro surpassing Osama Bin Laden
In recent weeks, the relationship between the United States and the government of Nicolás Maduro has taken unexpected turns. An agreement allowed for the release of 10 detained American citizens in Venezuela and Chevron was authorized to resume crude oil extraction operations.
A drastic change in Washington’s strategy:
The Department of State raised the reward for information leading to Maduro’s arrest to $50 million, citing him as a major drug trafficker and threat to national security.
Surpassing Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein:
The $50 million reward for Maduro surpasses previous rewards offered by the U.S. government and sets a new precedent in the fight against drug trafficking.
Accusations against Maduro and the “Cartel of the Suns”:
The U.S. accuses Maduro of collaborating with drug trafficking organizations and the “Cartel of the Suns”, leading to the increase in the reward for his arrest.
