U.S. labels Maduro-tied Cartel de los Soles as a terror organization. It's not a cartel per se
NegativeU.S News
- The U.S. government has officially designated Venezuela's Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization, a move announced by the Trump administration through the State Department. This designation aims to intensify pressure on President Nicolás Maduro's regime, which is accused of drug trafficking and other illicit activities.
- This development is significant as it marks a strategic escalation in U.S. efforts to undermine Maduro's government, potentially leading to increased sanctions and military options against the regime, reflecting a broader U.S. policy shift in Latin America.
- The designation of the Cartel de los Soles raises questions about the nature of the organization itself, as experts argue it does not fit the traditional definition of a cartel. This situation is compounded by the U.S. military's increased presence in the Caribbean, signaling a multi-faceted approach to counter perceived threats from Venezuela.
