Treasury imposes new sanctions on Venezuela after
Post# of 35795
The Treasury Department on Friday announced new sanctions against Venezuela, after what the agency called the illegal arrest of an aide to Juan Guiado, who the U.S. recognizes as the acting president of the country. The sanctions are against the bank Banco de Desarrollo Economico y Social de Venezuela, or BANDES, as well as four institutions it owns or controls. The sanctions come within an hour of President Trump rolling back the sanctions the Treasury announced Thursday against North Korea.
