Venezuelan sanctions

Venezuelan sanctions are measures imposed mainly by the U.S. and other countries to restrict trade, investment, and financial transactions with Venezuela. These sanctions aim to pressure the Venezuelan government to address issues like human rights violations and electoral fraud, and to limit the government's access to funds. They often include asset freezes, travel bans on officials, and bans on certain business dealings. While intended to promote political change and protect human rights, sanctions can also impact the Venezuelan economy and its people by making it harder to buy essentials and access global markets.
