The United States on Thursday doubled its bounty for Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to $50 million, ramping up pressure on the authoritarian leader that began during the first Trump administration.

The US government has doubled a reward to $50mn for information leading to the arrest or conviction of President Nicolás Maduro over the Venezuelan leader’s alleged links to drug cartels.

In a video posted to X, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi accused Maduro of collaborating with groups like Tren de Aragua and the Sinaloa Cartel.
