The news as it trends
For days, after President Donald Trump launched an unrelenting rant against Venezuela’s sitting president, Nicolas Maduro—placing a bounty on his head—the tension has escalated into a whole new territory.
Trump, after initially offering $25 million for information on Maduro’s whereabouts, has now doubled the reward to $50 million for his arrest.
It’s worth noting that a sitting president typically enjoys immunity under international law, making this move unprecedented and controversial.
Just hours later, Venezuela fired back.
In a jaw-dropping counteroffer, President Maduro pledged $50 million to anyone, anywhere, who can deliver the unreleased Epstein files.
Social media is in chaos. People are stunned, confused, and glued to their screens. Some are in stitches on X.
The tit-for-tat has sparked global speculation, with many wondering what secrets could lie in those files—and why Venezuela is so eager to expose them.
The stakes are sky-high, and the drama is unfolding in real time.
This isn’t just politics as usual—it’s a global spectacle with rewards on the sideline for whoever gets the tape first.
