US to label Venezuela’s Cartel de los Soles as terrorists | BBC News


Cartel de los Soles, a group the US alleges is led by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, will be designated a terrorist organisation, the US State Department has said.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Sunday that the US intends to consider the group a Foreign Terrorist Organisation from 24 November.

Maduro will effectively be designated a terrorist because the US alleges he heads the Cartel de los Soles, an accusation Maduro strongly denies.

It is the Trump administration’s latest effort to reduce drug trafficking and put pressure on Maduro, as the US considers whether to take military action inside the country.
