US PRESIDENT Donald Trump has imposed sweeping new sanctions on Venezuela, this time focused on the gold sector.
These latest sanctions aim to attack Venezuela’s gold production and trade and deny it hard currency to pay for the import of food and medicines.
Venezuela has extensive gold reserves, estimated as the second largest in the world. New gold-processing plants currently being installed to handle production from the country’s 32 gold fields are predicted to bring in about $5 billion in 2019.
