U.S. designates Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization
NegativeWorld Affairs

- The U.S. has officially designated the Cartel de los Soles, allegedly led by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, as a foreign terrorist organization, intensifying pressure on his administration. This designation has raised questions about the U.S. government's evidence and the implications of labeling a group that is not technically a cartel.
- This development is significant as it reflects the U.S. strategy to exert more control over Venezuela, potentially aiming to destabilize Maduro's regime amid ongoing economic and political crises in the country.
- The designation aligns with a broader U.S. campaign against perceived threats in Venezuela, which includes military buildup and accusations of drug trafficking against Maduro. This situation has led to heightened tensions in the region, with implications for international relations and the stability of the Venezuelan government.
