DESPITE enormous costs to its economy and its people imposed by illegal US sanctions, Venezuela has seen off President Donald Trump’s term in office and his clear goal of toppling the elected government of Nicolas Maduro.
From his earliest days in office, Trump had drastically ratcheted up the sanctions first levied against Venezuela by the Obama administration, increasingly meaning there is a full-on Cuba-style US blockade of the country.
Accompanying them have been constant threats of military action and a persistent campaign of disinformation designed to turn countries and opinion against Venezuela internationally, and support Trump’s objective of “regime change.”
