this should be 25 million for muduro dead or alive. this wat i am sure it would have bounty hunters that will want to collect such as former navy seals or rangers that would form a teal and quietly invade venezuela and remove muduro before he is missed. good thing to make a movie about. send in gearad buttler and call it "Dragon had fallen"

Trump orders termination of oil deal with Venezuela

WASHINGTON, Feb 26 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he was reversing oil concessions given to OPEC-member Venezuela by his predecessor Joe Biden more than two years ago, accusing President Nicolas Maduro of not making progress on electoral reforms and migrant returns.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he was "reversing the concessions" of the "oil transaction agreement, dated November 26, 2022."

That 2022 day was when the Biden administration gave Chevron (CVX.N), opens new tab a license to expand its production in Venezuela and bring the country's crude oil to the United States.

It was the only license that the administration issued for Venezuela that day. Trump did not mention Chevron in the post.
The White House and the U.S. State Department did not immediately respond to queries about whether Trump was referring to Chevron's license.

Chevron did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Since returning to office in January, Trump has repeatedly said the U.S. does not need Venezuelan oil and left open the possibility of revoking Chevron's operating license for the country.

Trump's announcement follows his declaration in early February that Venezuela had agreed to receive all Venezuelan migrants in the United States illegally and provide for their transportation back.

That came a day after U.S. envoy Richard Grenell met with Maduro in Caracas and brought six U.S. detainees back with him.

Trump during his first term pursued a "maximum pressure" sanctions policy against Maduro's government, especially targeting the OPEC member's vital energy sector.

Maduro and his government have always rejected sanctions by the United States and others, saying they are illegitimate measures that amount to an "economic war" designed to cripple Venezuela.

Maduro and his allies have cheered what they say is the country's resilience despite the measures, though they have historically blamed some economic hardships and shortages on sanctions.

Coudl be grand standing, if the issue is the deportees.
If they cut Venezuela supply , the oil price will go up and benefit Russia and Iran.

Trump will not make such an easy own goal for deportees. Just flexing and will bubble down by next week.

Trump got back the "hostages" being held in Venezuela then turned around and blanked Maduro. by using the deportees as an excuse.

Art of the Deal.

US offers $50M bounty for Maduro's arrest:

The United States has doubled the reward for information leading to the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to $50m (£37.2m), accusing him of being "one of the largest narco-traffickers in the world".

Attorney General Pam Bondi said the US would double its already announced reward of $25m (£18.6m), and said Maduro was directly linked to drug smuggling operations.

Playing devil's advocate. Why does an American president believe that he can arrest a president of another sovereign nation? Can our president issue a warrant for war crimes against him?

He'll believe that he can do that, because he's an idiot

Maduro should start to be a bit worried by now

WASHINGTON, Aug 14 (Reuters) - The United States has ordered the deployment of U.S. air and naval forces to the Southern Caribbean Sea to address threats from Latin American drug cartels, two sources briefed on the decision told Reuters on Thursday. The sources had few details of the operation, but President Donald Trump has wanted to use the military to go after Latin American drug gangs that have been designated as global terrorist organizations. The Pentagon had been directed to prepare options.

Trump has made cracking down on drug cartels a central goal of his administration, part of a wider effort to limit migration and secure the U.S. southern border. The Trump administration in recent months has already deployed at least two warships to help in border security efforts and drug trafficking. The sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the Defense Department has begun ordering the deployment of U.S. air and naval forces to the Southern Caribbean Sea.
"This deployment is aimed at addressing threats to U.S. national security from specially designated narco-terrorist organizations in the region," one of the sources said.
