WASHINGTON - The United States is considering imposing new sanctions on Venezuela to increase pressure on President Nicolas Maduro’s government to give up power, U.S. national security adviser John Bolton said on Tuesday. “We’re looking at new sanctions, new measures to tighten our grip on Maduro’s financial wherewithal, to deny his regime the money that they need to stay in power,” Bolton told Fox Business Network.
Washington views opposition leader Juan Guaido as Venezuela’s legitimate leader and has imposed sanctions on the country’s oil sector and announced asset freezes and travel bans targeting top government officials. Earlier on Tuesday, Washington’s top envoy for Venezuela, Elliott Abrams, said imposing U.S. secondary sanctions against non-U.S. citizens or entities tied to the Maduro government was “clearly a possibility,” although he said a decision had not been made on taking such a step.
This is a mistake. Sanctions are going to hurt the people and they will suffer the consequences.
More US sanctions for the starving children. How many children are going to die today, tomorrow the next due to US policy and regime change agenda. I guess US support in the Yemen famine and Syria regime change was not enough death and destruction.. God bless America. Lol
SanctionsKill HandsOffVenezuela
people with real power don't have a presence like servs he is someones serve so that someone doesn't have to bother with politics and PR as most of American politicians seem to be, that's a bartender presence with a white piece of cloth over his arm ready to hear the order
The U.S. should be looking for someone to replace the fascist war-monger John Bolton. If it's not Venezuela, he would be harping on some other country. He is beholden to the military and its contractors, who suck up trillions of our tax dollars.
Trump freak show

Have sanctions ever resulted in regime change?
This guy is just itching for a war, somewhere. Any where. Is it an insecure male ego thing with him or what?
