Venezuela‘s Cabello Defiantly Rejects US Pressure Amidst Escalating Drug Trafficking Accusations
Caracas, Venezuela – A top Venezuelan official, Diosdado Cabello, delivered a defiant message today, dismissing US efforts to disrupt the country’s alleged involvement in drug trafficking and asserting the resilience of the Bolivarian Revolution. His remarks come amidst heightened tensions with Washington, fueled by increased US military presence near Venezuelan waters and accusations leveled against President Nicolás Maduro and his inner circle.
Cabello, a powerful figure within the ruling socialist party, responded to recent US actions with a staunch declaration: “Say what they want, they will not be able to overcome this town, they will not be able to overcome the Bolivarian Revolution. They will spend years and this story will be told by the revolution.” the statement, reported by journalist Eduardo Menoni on X (formerly Twitter), signals a hardening of resolve within the Maduro government.

The escalating crisis stems from US allegations surrounding “Los soles” – a cartel purportedly comprised of Venezuelan military officials identified by the sun-shaped insignia on their uniforms. The US has accused this group of being deeply involved in the trafficking of narcotics into the united States.
Just days prior, Cabello had downplayed the significance of US military deployments and a recent attack on a vessel allegedly linked to drug trafficking, dismissing them as “smoke.” This shift in tone suggests a growing concern within the Venezuelan government regarding the effectiveness of the US strategy.The Trump administration has taken increasingly assertive steps, beginning with a substantial increase in the reward for Maduro’s capture – reaching $50 million, exceeding the bounty once offered for Osama Bin Laden.
