Washington As the Trump administration touted the latest action in its campaign targeting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, his government condemned the move as"economic terrorism against the Venezuelan people."
On Monday night, President Donald Trump issued a sweeping executive order banning Americans from doing business with Maduro's government and freezing its assets and associated entities unless specifically exempted. It is the latest move in the US bid to force out the embattled Venezuelan leader, with whom the United States severed ties in January. The US and dozens of other countries have backed opposition leader Juan Guaido and have called on Maduro to leave power.
