By Karen DeYoung Karen DeYoung Associate editor and senior national security correspondent Email Bio Follow April 5 at 7:20 PM The Trump administration on Friday levied sanctions against two foreign-owned companies and one tanker involved in the regular shipment of Venezuelan oil to Cuba, the latest in escalating measures to bring pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
The sanctions are aimed as much at Cuba as Venezuela. For the past 20 years, the two countries have had an arrangement whereby Venezuela sends free and subsidized oil to financially strapped Cuba in exchange for the services of Cuban doctors, teachers, and military and security agents. U.S. sanctions imposed earlier this year prevent PDVSA from collecting money for any oil shipped to the United States, which once imported more than a third of the company’s exports.
“Most ships, ones not owned by Cuba or Venezuela, are like Uber drivers,” Dallen said. “The computer says, ‘Here’s the closest ship,’ and you book it.” In the future, “anybody who goes to Venezuela to pick up or drop off” oil, or goes to Cuba, “is going to be wary that they’re going to be sanctioned.”
US should not have a harsh policy towards Venezuela.They don't have a resources,big nation have a big heart to support and assist to the nation, who are facing crisis.
Stop politics cross border...
Cuba, another world power for us to fear!
Traslate: United States continues asphyxia policy on Venezuela.
American bullying
It is so hard for me to comprehend any person willing to destroy their own nation just for their ego.
