The U.S. will label Venezuela’s Cartel de los Soles a terrorist group, citing drug trafficking and ties to Maduro’s regime.
The U.S. is set to designate Venezuela’s Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization, marking a major escalation in its anti-drug campaign.
The group, not a formal cartel but a loose network of high-ranking military, police, and government officials linked to President Nicolás Maduro, is accused of corruption, drug trafficking, and violence.
The move expands the terrorist label beyond groups like ISIS to include Latin American criminal networks.
It coincides with a U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean and Pacific, including naval strikes on suspected drug-trafficking vessels that have killed over 80 people.
While the administration cites counterdrug efforts, critics question the evidence and suggest the actions may serve as a pretext for regime change.
The designation reflects ongoing U.S. opposition to Maduro’s leadership, which it does not recognize.
Estados Unidos calificará al Cartel de los Soles de Venezuela como un grupo terrorista, citando el tráfico de drogas y los vínculos con el régimen de Maduro.
