... There they are to be tried for "drug terrorism." ...

The indictment of Pres Maduro seems to state that Pres Maduro is being indicted for some of the same reasons that fmr Pres Hernandez of Honduras was convicted.

Now Pres Trump seems to be going after Pres Maduro for drug trafficking?

How many tons of cocaine has Pres Maduro brought into the United States?
