U.S issued a $50m reward for information leading to the arrest of Venezuelan preside

The United States has issued a $50 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.


The United States Department of State has indeed offered a reward of up to $50 million for information leading to the arrest or conviction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. This was announced on March 26, 2020, during the Trump administration, as part of their "Narcotics Rewards Program." Maduro is accused of being involved in drug trafficking activities, including facilitating the movement of narcotics into the US market. The reward is significant as it represents the largest bounty ever offered under the program and reflects the severity of the allegations against him. The move is a part of the US government's efforts to increase pressure on Maduro's regime, which is facing multiple charges of corruption and human rights abuses, and to combat the global drug trade. The allegations of collaboration with various cartels and crime syndicates have further strained the already tense relations between the US and Venezuela.
