As Pompeo writes, this “cuts off Maduro’s lifeline, with which he avoided sanctions against the Venezuelan oil sector.”

“Those who support the corrupt regime and ensure repression against the people of Venezuela will be held accountable,” Pompeo said.

US State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus noted: “By imposing sanctions on Rosneft Trading SA for its work in the Venezuelan oil sector, the United States is cutting off funding that allows it to suppress democracy and the freedom of the people. We call on all our partner countries to join us in further isolating Maduro so that the people of Venezuela can be free again."

As ForumDaily wrote earlier:

  • The situation in Venezuela escalated in early 2019, when Nicolas Maduro was sworn in as president for a second term. This happened on January 10, 2019, amid allegations of voter fraud and other election fraud. Amid the country's turmoil, the head of Venezuela's opposition-led National Assembly, Juan Guaido, declared himself interim president, saying he was "formally assuming the responsibility of the national executive."
  • Thousands of Venezuelans staged protests against Maduro, urging the leader to resign, because the country cannot cope with rising inflation and shortages of food and medicine. At least a dozen demonstrators were killed during an intensifying confrontation with the Maduro regime.
  • “The people of Venezuela courageously stood up to Maduro and his regime and demanded freedom and the rule of law,” said US President Donald Trump. formally recognizing Guaido as the country's legal leader.
  • Several other Latin American countries, as well as Canada and the EU, recognized Guaido as the leader of Venezuela. But Russia resolutely came out in support of Maduro politically and militarily, which caused tension between the Kremlin and Washington.
  • Instability in the country and international confrontation because of it continue to this day. Russia continues to support the Maduro regime while the United States only communicates with Guaido (Maduro broke off diplomatic relations with Washington). The Venezuelan self-proclaimed leader was even invited to appeal to Trump in Congress in 2020.
