With the charge of drug trafficking involvement, the government of Donald Trump, who does not recognize – as the previous one, of Democratic President Joe Biden – his “illegal” re -election to his presidency last year, announced that he would announce that he would announce that he was in $ 50.
“Today, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announces a historical fee of $ 50 million for any information that would lead to arrest” by Venezuelan President, US justice Minister Pam Bodi said via X. The previous remuneration, already increased by Washington in January, when the previous government was still in charge was $ 25 million.
Today, and are announcing a $50 MILLION REWARD for information leading to the arrest of Nicolás Maduro.

The reaction did not take long, with the Venezuelan Foreign Minister describing the announcement of the Trump government. “The miserable” pay “given by Pamela Bodi, is the most ridiculous smoke we have ever seen,” Ivan Hill said via a Telegram, further stressing that “we are rejecting this coarse propaganda business” and that “our dignity” is not.
On January 10, 10 days before Republican Donald Trump was sworn in, the government of Democratic President Biden described the swearing -in of Nicolas Maduro, who was re -elected in July 2024 for a third, six -year term.
The then head of US diplomat Anthony Blinken and Janet Gellen’s Treasury ministry announced new sanctions in Venezuela and then increased to 25 million the remuneration of information that would lead to the arrest and prosecution of US justice.
Washington had argued that Mr Maduro “lost the elections” of 2024 and “had no right” to take on a new term.
Holds this… cologne
Anthony Blinken’s successor, Republican Marco Rubio, repeated identical accusations yesterday.
“Since 2020, Mr Maduro has strangled the Republic and has been hooked on power in Venezuela,” the head of US diplomacy said in a statement.
The Venezuelan president, who may count on the support of the army and his government, was sworn in and took over a third term in a ceremony that had been described as a “coup”, which supported and continues to say that his candidate had won.
“At a time when we dismiss terrorist conspiracies orchestrated by her country, this lady is coming to a circus show to satisfy the defeated far -right in Venezuela,” said Foreign Minister Ivan Hill.
The US declaration concerns, in addition to President Maduro and his interior minister of his government, as Washington is involved in being “involved in drug trafficking and corruption”.
This category has been repeated by 2020, Donald Trump’s first term.
The US Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office, who have succeeded in recent years of other Latin American leaders, say Nicolas Maduro is “behind” a cartel carrying tons of drugs to the US and trafficking them, securing hundreds of millions.
They also say that the cartel was working with groups coming from the former Colombian FARC guerrilla organization, which Washington considers “terrorist”.
US Minister of Justice Bodi still accused President Maduro for cooperation with the Tren de Aragua gang and the Sinaloa cartel.
And through oil the suffocating pressure on Venezuela
The Trump government wants to expel the socialist politician from power and cause financial suffocation to the Latin American state. After returning to power in January, President Trump scolded the embargo on oil, announcing the imposition of additional customs duties on countries buying slow from Venezuela, which has the largest reserves in the world.
The Maduro government has been denouncing Washington’s interventions in internal affairs for years.
Interior Minister Dosdado Campgen announced yesterday that security services prevented a bomb attack on Caracas, accusing the opposition and the US of being instigatorators. Caracas often denounces US conspiracies for the overthrow of President Maduro.
