The Trump administration's assertion that Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro is responsible for flooding the US with fentanyl through gangs is being scrutinized. Experts argue that the evidence supporting this claim is weak and does not align with the realities of drug trafficking. The narrative appears to be more politically motivated than fact-based, raising questions about its validity.

The allegations against Maduro may serve a dual purpose: to shift blame for the opioid crisis in the US and to further justify sanctions against Venezuela. However, the lack of concrete evidence undermines the credibility of these claims, suggesting that they may be more about political posturing than addressing the complexities of drug trafficking networks.

The Trump administration's focus on Maduro fits into a broader narrative of vilifying foreign leaders to rally domestic support.
