A former U.S. president has claimed significant strides in combating drug trafficking following the ouster of Venezuela’s leader, suggesting the situation has improved under new leadership. The remarks come as part of discussions about potentially easing or lifting sanctions tied to narcotics production and trafficking in the region. Additional countries, including Colombia and Bolivia, are also under consideration for similar policy shifts, though no formal decisions have been announced. The comments highlight a potential shift in U.S. drug policy toward Latin America amid evolving political dynamics.
Trump says the country has made progress against narcotics since Maduro's removal, may also remove Colombia and Bolivia.
