In response to the Trump administration’s decision to double the reward for the arrest of the presidents of these countries, the Venezuelan government called the move ridiculous and pathetic and condemned it.

International Service: In a new move, the US government has set a reward of $50 million for the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, which is double the previous reward. This decision was made by the Donald Trump administration in his second term as president.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a video released on the subject: “Under President Trump’s leadership, Maduro will not escape justice and will be held accountable for his heinous crimes.” The United States has accused Maduro of drug trafficking.

In response to this action, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Ivan Gil called the increase in the bounty ridiculous on his Telegram page, stressing: “While we are exposing the terrorist plots planned by this woman’s country (the US attorney), this woman appears in our country with a media circus to please the defeated far-right.”

Gil added: “The dignity of our land is not for sale and we condemn this political propaganda operation.”

According to the latest reports, this action by the US government is a continuation of its policies of maximum pressure on regional opposition governments. International experts have warned that such approaches could lead to increased tensions in the region and beyond. Some analysts also believe that these moves are of a propaganda nature and are more aimed at creating psychological pressure on the target governments than achieving practical results.
