The Biden Administration said on Friday that it was offering $25 million for information leading to the arrest of Nicol\u00e1s Maduro, the president of Venezuela.<\/p>\n

The announcement<\/a> is Washington\u2019s retaliatory measure for Mr. Maduro\u2019s decision to assume a third term<\/a> in office on Friday. Mr. Maduro has presented no evidence that he won a July election, while his opponent Edmundo Gonz\u00e1lez has presented thousands<\/a> of publicly available vote tallies that he says indicate he easily won<\/a> the most votes.<\/p>\n

The United States has recognized Mr. Gonz\u00e1lez as the president-elect of Venezuela and has urged Mr. Maduro to step aside.<\/p>\n

In 2020, under the Trump administration, the State Department offered a $15 million reward for help arresting Mr. Maduro. At the time, he was indicted in the United States, accused in a decades-long narco-terrorism and international cocaine trafficking conspiracy. Mr. Maduro remains under indictment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
