Congressman Mario Díaz-Balart highlighted five significant actions taken by former President Trump following the death of Walid Makled García, known as “El Niño Guerrero.” These actions involved sanctions targeting individuals linked to the Maduro regime in Venezuela. The timing of these measures occurred approximately five months after the U.S. accused Maduro’s government of collaborating with criminal organizations, specifically following Makled’s capture. Díaz-Balart emphasized the escalating pressure applied by the Trump administration in response to alleged cooperation between the Venezuelan government and drug trafficking. The sanctions aimed to disrupt the financial networks supporting the Maduro administration and those involved in illicit activities. The actions represent a continued U.S. effort to address concerns regarding drug trafficking and corruption within Venezuela. Further details were reported by EL NACIONAL.
