#TRUMP #Nicolasmaduro Trump raises bounty for President NicolĂĄs Maduro's arrest to $50 million
The Trump administration has doubled its reward for the arrest of Venezuelaâs President NicolĂĄs Maduro from $25 million (âŹ21.4 million) to $50 million (âŹ42.9 million), accusing him of being one of the worldâs largest narco-traffickers and working with cartels to flood the US with fentanyl-laced cocaine.
âUnder President Trumpâs leadership, Maduro will not escape justice and he will be held accountable for his despicable crimes,â said Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday in a video announcing the reward.
Maduro was indicted in a federal court in Manhattan in 2020, during the first Trump presidency, along with several of his close allies. They were charged with charges of narco-terrorism and conspiracy to import cocaine into the United States.
