The U.S. Treasury Department has officially designated the ‘Cartel de los Soles’ as a global terrorist organization, marking a significant shift in U.S. policy toward Venezuela. This decision comes after U.S. intelligence reports reportedly linked the group to drug trafficking activities and regional destabilization. The term ‘Cart,el de los Soles’ was originally a Venezuelan figure of speech for generals corrupted by drug money, but the U.S. government has taken it literally, labeling it a literal organization. The move underscores the administration’s focus on counterterrorism efforts in the region, potentially impacting diplomatic relations and international cooperation.
