US Offers $25 Million Reward for Maduro's Arrest Amid Controversial Inauguration
US intensifies efforts against Venezuelan leadership with massive reward as Maduro begins new term.
The United States has ramped up its approach towards Venezuela by announcing a substantial reward of $25 million (£20.4 million) for information that could lead to the arrest of President Nicolás Maduro. This development coincides with Maduro's swearing-in for a controversial third six-year term, a ceremony marked by significant backlash from both the Venezuelan opposition and global powers. Alongside Maduro, the US government also revealed rewards for other key figures in his administration, including $15 million for Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino and an undisclosed amount for Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello. This announcement reflects ongoing tensions and the US's commitment to holding Maduro's government accountable amidst ongoing economic turmoil and allegations of human rights abuses in Venezuela. Further updates to this story are underway, and developments are likely as the situation unfolds.
