The United States has significantly increased its reward for information leading to the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, offering $50 million (£37.2m). The move comes as the US accuses Maduro of being a major figure in global drug trafficking operations.

• The reward has been doubled from an initial $25 million (£18.6m).
• US Attorney General Pam Bondi directly linked Maduro to drug smuggling, claiming the DEA seized 30 tons of cocaine connected to him and his associates.
• Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil dismissed the reward as "pathetic" and "political propaganda."
