The United States accuses Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro of leading a drug trafficking network and offers a reward of up to $50 million for his capture. Despite the tension, Trump and Maduro held a phone call in November. It is reported that Trump plans to continue destroying vessels in the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean until Maduro surrenders. Since September, a major U.S. military deployment has destroyed two dozen boats near Venezuela and Colombia, extrajudicially killing more than 80 people whom Washington describes as «narcoterrorists».
Quote: «(Trump) wants to keep blowing up ships until Maduro gives up. And people much smarter than me on that front say he will do it,» said Wiles in an interview with Vanity Fair.
