US offers $50m reward for arrest of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro

The US government has doubled the reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. The reward, now set at $50 million, is part of the US's effort to pressure Maduro, whom they accuse of drug trafficking and other criminal activities. Maduro has been indicted by the US Department of Justice on charges of narco-terrorism, corruption, and human rights abuses. The US has been actively working to remove Maduro from power, recognizing opposition leader Juan Guaidó as the legitimate president of Venezuela. The increased reward reflects the US's determination to hold Maduro accountable and facilitate his capture. This move is part of the ongoing political and economic crisis in Venezuela, where Maduro's government is facing growing international pressure and domestic unrest.
