The Trump administration announces sanctions against a Russian oil firm accused of supporting the regime of embattled Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro

A senior administration official said that the designation of Rosneft Trading S.A., a subsidiary of the Russia's Rosneft Oil Company, was"another major step forward toward achieving maximum pressure."The sanctions also target Rosneft's chairman and president, Didier Casimiro, whom an official described as"the main European intermediary to help [Venezuelan President Nicolás] Maduro skirt sanctions.

Those who support democracy will be welcome"An official noted that the US is currently"50-60%" into its maximum pressure campaign, later adding,"We hope to never have to get to 100% maximum pressure." Moving forward, officials reiterated that"all options" remain on the table.More than a year after the US recognized Guaido as the interim president of Venezuela, its campaign of targeted sanctions has yet to yield the desired result.

There were already sanctions against them. There's been sanctions against them since 2014 unless he lifted them.

Worst Putin puppet ever.

It's theater. Wait til you see what they have in store if, GOD HELP US, he's elected to a second term. Consider yourself warned.

Meanwhile, Barr fighting against pursuing sanctions violations against organizations that violate Iran sanctions. This administration can't make up its mind!!

Trump 2016: “We will stop racing to topple foreign regimes that we know nothing about, that we shouldn’t be involved with” Trump 2019: We must help overthrow the Venezuelan government

There goes that orange man helping the Russians by sanctioning them. What a joke! When will he be held accountable?

Nobody has been tougher on Russia. He’s said so himself!

It's the right thing to do.

Dems will find something wrong with this.
