It reflects themes of U.S. regime change efforts, accusations of Maduro's 'narco-state' leadership, and narcoterrorism charges against him and his wife Cilia Flores. The context stems from Operation Southern Spear, targeting criminal networks, amid disputed 2024 Venezuelan election results and long-standing U.S.-Venezuela tensions.[1]
