US EditionVenezuela Calls US Bounty Increase For Maduro 'Pathetic'
LIBERTADOR, CAPITAL DISTRICT, VENEZUELA, AUG 8 – The US government accuses Maduro of trafficking over 70 tons of cocaine and working with major cartels, offering $50 million for information leading to his arrest, doubling the previous reward.
- On August 7, 2025, US Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the US Department of Justice and @StateDept doubled the $25 million reward for Nicolás Maduro to $50 million.
- Amid claims of a flawed election, the US said the July 28, 2024 Venezuelan presidential election was fraudulent, citing Maduro’s illegitimate victory, the US government said.
- Amid mounting evidence, the DEA records show 30 tons of cocaine linked to Maduro and associates, and the Department of Justice has seized over $700m in assets, Bondi revealed.
- Meanwhile, Havana condemned the US reward for Maduro as an act of aggression, and Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil called it “the most ridiculous smokescreen,”
- Following the announcement, the US government said Maduro remains entrenched after defying the US, EU, and Latin American governments, while President Trump approved military force against Latin American cartels, with White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly citing homeland protection.
