The United States has designated Venezuela's Cartel de los Soles and the notorious prison gang Tren de Aragua as terrorist organizations, alleging direct ties to President Nicolás Maduro and other senior officials. The US Treasury has imposed sanctions on the leaders of these groups, freezing their assets and making it illegal for Americans to do business with them. Authorities accuse these organizations of drug trafficking, human trafficking, extortion, and supporting transnational criminal networks across the Western Hemisphere. The US is also offering multi-million dollar rewards for information leading to the capture of key gang leaders. These moves are part of a broader effort to curb the influence of Venezuelan criminal syndicates and counter their destabilizing impact on the region.
