Venezuela hit with new US sanctions after clashes over food aid on border
BOGOTA: The United States targeted Venezuela’s government with new sanctions on Monday and called on allies to freeze the assets of its state-owned oil company PDVSA after deadly violence blocked humanitarian aid from reaching the country over the weekend.
As Colombia’s foreign minister warned about “credible threats to the life” of Venezuela’s opposition leader Juan Guaido, the Trump administration took its pressure campaign to the UN Security Council, asking it to discuss the situation in Venezuela, diplomats said.
The US treasury department’s sanctions were imposed on four Venezuelan state governors allied with the government of President Nicolas Maduro, blocking any assets they control in the US.
The new sanctions were announced in Bogota as US vice president Mike Pence and Guaido met with members of the Lima Group to find a resolution.
