The US has announced an increased $25 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
The announcement was made on the day Maduro was sworn in for a third six-year term in office.
The inauguration ceremony was overshadowed by recrimination from the international community and Venezuelan opposition leaders.
The reward from the US cites narcotics and corruption charges dating back to 2020.
A new reward of up to $15-million for Defence Minister Vladimir Padrino has also been offered.
The UK also issued sanctions on 15 top Venezuelan officials, including judges, members of the security forces and military officials.
Also on Friday, the EU said it was extending restrictive measures against Venezuela because of the lack of progress leading to the restoration of democracy.
The bloc also sanctioned 15 Venezuelan officials.
Maduro and his government have repeatedly denounced many of the allegations made by Western countries and opposition leaders.
