Trump: Maduro to Face Further Charges

US President Donald Trump announced that Venezuela's ousted president, Nicolas Maduro, who is currently detained in New York and scheduled to appear in court, will face “other trials” in the future. Maduro is accused of drug trafficking and is alleged to have protected a large network of traffickers linked to groups designated as terrorist organizations by Washington. The current hearing concerns procedural matters before the trial begins. Trump indicated that further investigations and charges are likely, as the current accusations only cover a portion of his alleged actions.
