US increases reward for Venezuelan President Maduro's arrest to $50 million

The United States on Thursday raised to $50 million its reward for the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who was indicted in the US on drug trafficking charges in 2020. The US, which does not recognise Maduro's past two election victories, says that Maduro is "one of the largest narco-traffickers in the world and a threat to our national security".
