The Trump administration is offering a $50 million reward, double its previous offer, for information leading to the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Aug. 7.

Bondi, in a video posted to X, accused Maduro of using foreign terrorist organizations like Tren de Aragua, the Sinaloa cartel, and the Cartel of the Suns to “bring deadly drugs and violence into our country.”
