IN ITS latest move to strangle the Venezuelan economy and bring Venezuelans to their knees, the Trump administration has levied new punitive sanctions against the Russian state energy giant Rosneft for trading Venezuelan oil, as well as the Venezuelan state-owned airline Conviasa.
These aggressive measures are the most recent in what now amounts to an extensive economic blockade of Venezuela of the type employed against Cuba since the early 1960s.
This involves an oil embargo, the international blocking of bank accounts and obstruction of financial transactions outside Venezuela and other restrictions.
