flag The U.S. will label Venezuela’s Cartel de los Soles a terrorist group, citing drug trafficking and ties to Maduro’s regime.

flag 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. flag 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. flag The move expands the terrorist label beyond groups like ISIS to include Latin American criminal networks. flag 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. flag While the administration cites counterdrug efforts, critics question the evidence and suggest the actions may serve as a pretext for regime change. flag The designation reflects ongoing U.S. opposition to Maduro’s leadership, which it does not recognize.
