Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez slammed DEA Chief Terry Cole over his claim that the Venezuelan regime is collaborating with Colombian guerrilla groups to ship "record amounts of cocaine" to Mexican cartels that later traffic it into the U.S.
Rodriguez said in a statement that Cole is aware of her claim and that there are "innumerable documents and evidence" supporting it. She added that the DEA's own "National Drug Threat Assessment" from 2024 and 2025 doesn't mention Venezuela as a relevant factor when it comes to drug-trafficking to the U.S.
