The U.S. labeled Venezuela’s Cartel de los Soles a terrorist group, citing ties to Maduro, drug trafficking, and violence, triggering sanctions and military actions.
The U.S. has designated Venezuela’s Cartel de los Soles as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, escalating the Trump administration’s campaign against drug networks tied to President Nicolás Maduro.
Announced on November 24, 2025, the designation accuses the group of terrorism, drug trafficking, and violence across the region, triggering asset freezes and financial sanctions.
Experts note the cartel is less a structured group and more a shorthand for entrenched corruption within Venezuela’s security forces.
The move follows U.S. military strikes in the Caribbean and Pacific that have killed more than 80 people.
Caracas condemned the designation as a pretext for intervention, while Washington says it aims to disrupt narcotics flows and increase pressure on a regime it refuses to recognize after disputed elections.
