The United States government, under the Trump administration, has doubled the reward for information leading to the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to $50 million, marking the highest bounty in U.S. history and surpassing those offered for other notorious terrorists and drug traffickers, including Osama Bin Laden. U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi announced the increase, accusing Maduro of collaborating with foreign terrorist organizations and drug cartels to traffic cocaine into the United States, with the DEA having seized 30 tons linked to him and his associates. The U.S. Department of Justice has also seized over $700 million in assets connected to Maduro's regime, including jets and multiple properties. The Venezuelan government has strongly condemned the reward, describing it as a "pathetic," "grotesque," and "infamous" political propaganda operation aimed at criminalizing Maduro and destabilizing the country. Venezuelan officials, including Foreign Minister Yván Gil, Attorney General Tarek William Saab, and Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, have rejected the U.S. action, calling it illegal, interventionist, and a tactic to incite violence by extremist groups. The Cuban chapter of the International Antifascist organization has also denounced the U.S. decision. Maduro himself dismissed the bounty, challenging the U.S. to capture him and asserting that no empire can tarnish his honor. The announcement has prompted calls from Venezuelan supporters for the United Nations to issue a statement on the matter. The U.S. justification for the reward centers on Maduro's alleged use of terrorist groups to introduce drugs and violence into U.S. territory.
