The news as it trends

U.S. President Donald Trump has increased the reward for information leading to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, raising it to an astonishing $50 million.

This decision comes in light of renewed allegations of drug trafficking and narco-terrorism against Maduro by U.S. officials.

The State Department claims that Maduro is heavily involved in a criminal network that inundates the U.S. with cocaine, utilizing the Venezuelan government as a facade.

Trump’s choice to elevate the bounty indicates a firm stance and rekindles tensions between Washington and Caracas.

Maduro, who remains unyielding, has rejected the accusations as politically driven.

He is presently the president of Venezuela.

The increase in the reward is anticipated to heighten international pressure and alter diplomatic relations in Latin America.
