Secretary of State Marco Rubio highlighted Maduro&#8217;s leadership of the drug trafficking group Cartel de los Soles, which was designated as a global terrorist association by the U.S. Treasury in July 2025. U.S. officials accuse Maduro of undermining democracy in Venezuela and denying the legitimacy of the 2024 presidential election. Attorney General Pam Bondi labeled Maduro as one of the world&#8217;s largest narcotraffickers and responsible for bringing drugs and violence into the U.S., citing important cocaine seizures linked to him and his associates. Maduro was indicted in 2020 on <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >charges including narco-terrorism<\/a> and conspiracy to import cocaine. The Biden administration had previously raised the bounty to $25 million. Venezuelan officials criticized the new reward as mere political propaganda. maduro has been in power as 2013.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Trump administration on Thursday doubled the reward for the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicol&aacute;s Maduro.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the reward was now set at $50 million, according to a news release on the Department of State&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.state.gov\/reward-offer-increase-of-up-to-50-million-for-information-leading-to-arrest-and-or-conviction-of-nicolas-maduro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&ldquo;For over a decade, Maduro has been a leader of Cartel de los Soles, which is responsible for trafficking drugs into the United States,&rdquo;
