Explosive allegations have surfaced claiming that former US President Donald Trump authorised a secret multi-million dollar bounty for the arrest of Venezuela's controversial leader, Nicolás Maduro. According to intelligence sources, the operation was allegedly proposed during Trump's presidency but was never executed.
Covert Plans and Diplomatic Fallout
The reported bounty, said to be in the range of tens of millions of dollars, was intended to incentivise the capture of Maduro, whom the Trump administration accused of drug trafficking and human rights abuses. The plan allegedly involved covert operatives and private military contractors, though it remains unclear how far the discussions progressed.
Reactions from Washington and Caracas
Venezuelan officials have condemned the allegations, calling them an "imperialist plot" to destabilise the country. Meanwhile, US political analysts suggest that if proven true, the revelations could reignite debates over Trump's foreign policy tactics and their long-term consequences.
Legal experts warn that such an operation, if confirmed, could violate international law, raising questions about accountability and diplomatic repercussions.
