Trump Announces Further Charges for Maduro

US President Donald Trump announced that Nicolás Maduro, the ousted President of Venezuela, will face additional charges beyond those for drug trafficking, for which he is to be tried in New York. Maduro is being held in the US following a US military operation in January. The US accuses him of leading a drug trafficking network with links to terrorist organizations. Trump did not provide details on the new charges, but hinted that they would relate to other actions by Maduro. The initial hearing concerns procedural matters before the start of the trial.
