The head of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Terry Cole, accused Venezuela of collaborating with Colombian guerrilla groups to ship "record amounts of cocaine" to Mexican cartels trafficking into the United States.
During an interview with Fox News, Cole said that "Venezuela has become a narco-terrorist state that continues to work with the FARC and the ELN of Colombia to send record amounts of cocaine from Venezuela to the Mexican cartels, which continue entering the United States."
