Ridiculous: Venezuela as US doubles reward on Prez Maduro's arrest
Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil has termed US President Donald Trump's decision to double the reward for the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to $50 million as "the most ridiculous smokescreen ever seen". Gil stated, "The dignity of our homeland is not for sale...we repudiate this crude political propaganda." The reward was increased to $25 million in January 2025.
