Nicolás Maduro: US charges Venezuelan president with 'narco-terrorism'
As well as Mr Maduro, the US charged more than a dozen top Venezuelan officials. These included the country's defence minister and the supreme court's chief justice.
"Maduro very deliberately deployed cocaine as a weapon... to undermine the health and wellbeing of our nation," US Attorney Geoffrey Berman said. In response to the US charges, Venezuela's Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza hit out at what he called"unfounded allegations" and said they showed the"desperation" of the"Washington elite".
