🇻🇪🇻🇪🤝🪖 — The Venezuelan Armed Forces, completely subordinated to the Chavista regime, reaffirmed their loyalty to Nicolás Maduro.

🇺🇸🇺🇸❗️🇻🇪🇻🇪 — 💰 Mario Díaz-Balart announced that he co-sponsored a bill to increase the reward for Nicolás Maduro to $100 million, describing him as the leader of a criminal enterprise that fuels narco-terrorism and represses human rights.

"I co-sponsored this bill in the House to raise the reward for the dictator Maduro to $100 million.

We must continue to support the people of Venezuela in their fight for freedom.

Today, Maduro has mocked democracy and the rule of law by proclaiming himself president. Maduro's regime is a criminal enterprise that fuels narco-terrorism, suppresses independent media, and violates human rights with impunity. It's time for Maduro and his thugs to consider where they might seek exile if they want to avoid the fate of other dictators who defied the will of the people."
