| Kidnapper & Victim |
USA's Federal Kagaroo Court in New York has charge-sheeted Maduro (along with his wife, son, and others):
- Narco-terrorism conspiracy
- Cocaine importation conspiracy
- Possession of machine guns and destructive devices
- Conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices
Looking at these charges, let us peep deep into the drugs/narcotics smuggling data of DEA, USA itself.
The basic question is "Which country in the American continent is the largest producer of narcotics and who exports to the USA?".
Colombia is the largest producer of cocaine in the Americas, with record-high cultivation and production estimated at over 3,708 tons globally in 2023, primarily driven by expanded coca bush areas and higher yields in the country.
Cocaine remains one of the most significant illicit drugs produced in the region by volume. Mexico, however, is the leading producer of synthetic narcotics like fentanyl, methamphetamine, and heroin in the Americas, with Mexican transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) such as the Sinaloa Cartel and Jalisco New Generation Cartel operating large-scale clandestine labs using precursor chemicals sourced mainly from China. (Source: DEA, USA).
Peru and Bolivia are secondary producers of cocaine, but their output is significantly lower than Colombia's. Mexico is the primary exporter of illegal drugs to the USA, controlling the wholesale trafficking of fentanyl, methamphetamine, heroin, and cocaine across the U.S.-Mexico border.
Mexican TCOs source cocaine from South American producers like Colombia and handle its transit, while directly producing and exporting synthetics and heroin. Other countries, such as Colombia, Peru, and transit nations like Ecuador and Venezuela, play roles in production or routing, but Mexico dominates direct exports to the U.S. market.
Venezuela is not a significant direct exporter of narcotics to the United States, according to data from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), U.S. State Department, and United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
Key Narcotics and Venezuela's Role -
Fentanyl and synthetic opioids (the primary drivers of U.S. overdose deaths): Venezuela plays no known role in production or trafficking. The DEA's 2025 National Drug Threat Assessment identifies Mexico as the overwhelming source, using precursors from China. No South American country, including Venezuela, is linked to fentanyl flows to the U.S.
Cocaine: Venezuela serves primarily as a transit country for cocaine produced in Colombia (the world's top producer), with some secondary processing. U.S. estimates indicate 200–250 metric tons of cocaine transited Venezuela annually in recent assessments (e.g., 2020–2023 levels persisted per State Department reports). However, most of this is destined for Europe or the Caribbean, not the U.S.
Direct Exports to the USA:
Direct exports to the USA are minimal: No established maritime routes directly from Venezuela to the U.S. exist- as per UNODC seizure data.
The only documented direct pathway is limited air trafficking (e.g., couriers or private flights).
U.S. bound cocaine predominantly flows through the Eastern Pacific (74–80% via Central America/Mexico) or overland routes from Colombia, with only a small fraction (historically single-digit percentages) via Caribbean corridors that may touch Venezuela.
Experts and reports (e.g., UNODC World Drug Report 2025, WOLA analyses) describe Venezuela's contribution to U.S. cocaine supply as a "sliver" or minor secondary role, far below primary routes from Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and Mexico-controlled distribution.
Precise quantities of narcotics successfully exported directly from Venezuela to the U.S. are not publicly quantified in official reports due to the clandestine nature of trafficking and focus on seizures/origins. Available evidence indicates the amount reaching the U.S. market is low relative to total inflows, with Mexican transnational criminal organizations dominating wholesale distribution into the United States.
However, President Trump and the USA Government does not take any action against the major players and makes an arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on the charges of narcotics smuggling.
World is not naive as to not to understand the real motive of takeover of the 303 billion oil reserves of Venezuela. Narcotics and Arms smuggling is a frivolous excuse that no one except Donald Trump will believe.
Attack on Venezuela is a crystal International Thuggery committed by the President of the USA. In fact, President Donald Trump has outperformed the Nigerians, Somalian pirates by attacking the oil fields and not the oil tankers on high seas.
The arrest and whisking of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro by the USA army Commander-in-Chief President Donald Trump is no less than cheap kidnapping like that of an ordinary gangster on the streets of Chicago or Bronx. Both indulge in kidnapping the victim for a ransom. It is only the scale of monetary stake that differentiate these two kidnappers.
A new Kidnapper and Pirate has risen on the horizon.
