US EditionVenezuelan president’s YouTube account offline as tensions with US escalate
- YouTube removed Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro's official channel on Saturday, September 20, 2025, amid escalating tensions with the United States.
- The removal followed a recent U.S. military deployment of eight warships near Venezuela's coast and longstanding accusations against Maduro of election fraud and drug trafficking.
- Maduro's YouTube channel had over 200,000 followers and published his speeches, while Venezuela's government denounced the U.S. deployment as a sovereignty attack aimed at overthrowing him.
- The U.S. government has increased a bounty to $50 million for information leading to the arrest of Maduro, whom officials describe as heading a drug trafficking operation, and has confirmed that its forces destroyed three Venezuelan speedboats suspected of transporting narcotics, resulting in the deaths of more than twelve individuals.
- The account removal highlights rising U.S.-Venezuela tensions, with Maduro's supporters calling it censorship and critics seeing it as a blow to state propaganda.
