💨 Abstract

The US has imposed sanctions on eight Venezuelan officials, including the head of PDVSA and the transportation minister, and increased the reward for Maduro's arrest to $25 million. The move coincides with similar sanctions from Britain and the EU. Both Maduro's government and the opposition claim victory in last year's disputed election, with the opposition alleging electoral fraud. Maduro has faced U.S. drug trafficking charges for years.
