The U.S. government has officially designated Venezuela's Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization, effective November 24th. This move by President Donald Trump's administration further heightens the ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela. The Cartel de los Soles is alleged to be a drug-trafficking network within the Venezuelan government, with connections to President Nicolás Maduro. The U.S. claims that the cartel has been involved in the importation and distribution of cocaine, as well as money laundering activities. This terrorist designation will allow the U.S. to impose additional sanctions and penalties on individuals and entities associated with the cartel. It is part of the U.S. government's broader efforts to increase pressure on the Maduro regime, which it considers to be an authoritarian government. The move is likely to further escalate the already strained diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Venezuela, as Maduro's government is expected to respond with its own measures in retaliation.
