Venezuela’s ambassador to TT Alvaro Sánchez Cordero has pushed back against claims by US authorities that the South American country is linked to narco-trafficking.
On August 7, the US State Department labelled Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro as the leader of Cartel de los Soles, a drug cartel it claims provides material support to terrorist organizations and gangs including Tren de Aragua and the Sinaloa Cartel.
It announced a reward of up to $50 million for information leading to his arrest and/or conviction.
