sources” reported that possible sanctions on several vessels could be
imposed immediately,” although a decision has not yet been made.”</p><p><a href="https://orinocotribune.com/national-assemblys-president-threatened-with-sanctions-by-the-us-here-is-his-response-us-desperation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">RELATED CONTENT: National Assembly’s President Threatened with Sanctions by the US – Here is His Response (US Desperation?)</a></p><p>According
to the dispatch, 25 oil super tankers that have the capacity to
transport a maximum of 2 million barrels of crude oil would be included
in the sanctions.</p><p>The unilateral measure would also be against 17 “minor ships”.</p><p>Reuters
detailed that “there were no immediate comments from the US Treasury
Department”; and “The White House and the State Department did not
immediately respond to questions on the subject.”</p><p><a href="https://orinocotribune.com/supreme-court-admits-legislative-omission-plea-presented-by-opposition-parties-to-designate-a-new-cne-board/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">RELATED CONTENT: Supreme Court Admits Legislative Omission Plea Presented by Opposition Parties to Designate a New CNE Board</a></p><p>“Many
analysts know that Reuters and many other “news agencies” are just mere
mouthpieces for the US in order to send messages and threats to
countries taking a dignified stand and not submitting themselves to US
imperialism,” a political expert said to Orinoco tribune.</p><p>The US
regime has been tightening the total blockade against Venezuela,
especially against its oil industry by imposing unilateral coercive
measures and boycotting its transactions in the international market.</p><p>This
week, the US Treasury reported that it imposed sanctions on four
shipping companies for transporting Venezuelan oil. All of this is part
of an escalation in Washington to try to force Nicolás Maduro out of the
presidency of the Republic, through the siege, suffocation and sabotage
of the already battered quality of life of millions of Venezuelans.</p><p><a href="https://www.laiguana.tv/articulos/745575-eeuu-amenaza-asedio-tanqueros-venezuela/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Source URL: La IguanaTV</a></p><p>Translated by JRE/EF</p><div><p><br></p></div></div></div></div>
