The Trump Administration Increased Pressure On Venezuelan Dictator Nicolás Maduro, Accused Of Involvement With Drug Cartels And Terrorist Groups. Now, The U.S. Is Offering One Of The Largest Rewards Ever Recorded For The Capture Of A Foreign Leader.

The administration of former President Donald Trump announced on Thursday (8) that it has doubled the reward for the capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro. Now, those who provide information leading to Maduro’s arrest could receive up to US$ 50 million.

Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that Maduro works with international criminal organizations, such as the Tren de Aragua, the Sinaloa cartel, and the Cartel of the Suns. According to her, these groups bring lethal drugs and violence to the United States.

According to Bondi, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has already seized 30 tons of cocaine linked to the Venezuelan regime.

History Of Accusations And Progressive Increase In Reward

In March 2020, the Southern District of New York filed several charges against Maduro, including narcoterrorism, conspiracy to import cocaine, and possession of war weapons.

At that time, the initial reward offered by the Trump administration was US$ 15 million.

During President Joe Biden’s term, the State Department increased the amount to US$ 25 million in January.

Now, Trump’s team has decided to double that amount.

Seizures And Promise Of Justice

According to the Department of Justice, the U.S. has already seized over US$ 700 million in assets linked to Maduro.

Among them are two private jets and nine vehicles. Nevertheless, the Trump administration accuses the Venezuelan leader of continuing to command a “reign of terror.”

“Most importantly, under President Trump’s leadership, Maduro will be held accountable for his crimes,” Bondi stated.

NASA is offering US$ 750,000 to people from anywhere in the world who solve a problem that could decide survival on Mars: creating food for astronauts without relying on resupply from Earth.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

After 16 years and almost 600 prototypes, a Chinese inventor unveils the world’s smallest and cheapest manned jet, at just 3.80 meters long and costing US$7.2 thousand in materials.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

Car dealerships avoid these used cars like they’re bombs: famous engines, problematic belts, and expensive transmissions can turn a common purchase into a huge loss in the USA.

Germany installed vertical solar panels on a lake in Bavaria, and the result broke conventional logic: instead of producing energy at midday peak, the plant generates more early in the morning and in the evening, exactly when families turn on appliances and factories are in full swing.

More than 160 million gallons of water, equivalent to 240 Olympic swimming pools, need to be pumped to remove a 100,000-ton nuclear aircraft carrier from dry dock; each of these ships undergoes a complete overhaul costing US$2.8 billion.

With installments starting from R$ 999 per month, a 75 hp 1.0 engine, a 7-inch TFT digital panel, and standard stability control, the Citroën C3 is the cheapest hatchback in Brazil in 2026 and still leaves Kwid, Argo, and Mobi behind in onboard technology.
