The Trump administration has intensified its campaign to oust Nicolás Maduro from power in Venezuela. Donald Trump appointed a team of his strongest allies for this mission, with Senator Marco Rubio described as the “captain” of the operation. Rubio, who has Cuban roots, has deep knowledge of Latin American politics. The team also includes Attorney General Pam Bondi, who officially announced a $50 million reward for any information leading to Maduro’s capture. According to a report from The Washington Post, a source close to the matter stated that there is “no going back” on the decision to remove Maduro. The US is applying significant political and military pressure. For instance, the US Navy has positioned forces just 90 kilometers off the Venezuelan coast. There is speculation that the CIA may already be operating within Venezuela. The administration believes that the fall of the Venezuelan regime could disrupt the financing of other leftist governments in Latin America, viewing Maduro’s government as a key supporter of socialism in the region.
