ALABAMA - In recent weeks, governments across the globe have stepped up their efforts to reprimand Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro after he claimed victory in the country's presidential elections in July without showing supporting documentation. Earlier this month, Florida Senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott announced the introduction of a bill that aims to increase the U.S. government's reward for information leading to Maduro's arrest to $100 million.

Another regional foe of Maduro's who has been vocal when repudiating him is Argentina's Javier Milei.
