This week - after creeping up slowly to 25 million - it has just been doubled by Marco Rubio the US Secretary of State to a cool FIFTY million. "The Department of State and the Department of Justice are announcing a reward offer increase of up to $50 million under the Narcotics Rewards Program (NRP) for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of Nicolás Maduro for violating U.S. narcotics laws."
I'm a bit late to this excellent news as I was crossing the Atlantic when it was announced but the reasons are plain and simple:
"Since 2020, Maduro has strangled democracy and grasped at power in Venezuela. Maduro claimed to have won Venezuela’s July 28, 2024, presidential election but failed to present any evidence that he had prevailed. The United States has refused to recognize Maduro as the winner of 2024 election and does not recognize him as the President of Venezuela."Well said. The 'reward offer is authorized by the Secretary under the NRP, (Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs) which supports law enforcement efforts to disrupt transnational crime globally and bring fugitives to justice as a key pillar of President Trump’s "America First" priorities.'
