US revokes visas of 49 Maduro-aligned officials in Venezuela

[MRubio]

The Trump administration announced Friday it is revoking the visas of 49 Maduro-aligned officials and their families and sanctioning several top military and security officials, part of a major U.S. campaign to push contested Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro from power.

“I can’t predict the day Maduro falls and leaves Venezuela,” said Elliott Abrams, the State Department’s special representative for Venezuela, in an interview with Fox News. “It may be that three days before people will be saying, ‘oh the administration policy has failed,’ and then boom, there he goes and that day will come.”


Despite substantial U.S. sanctions on Venezuela’s economy, particularly its state oil company, Maduro appears in control of the country.

“The full effect of the sanctions hasn’t even been felt,” Abrams said. “The initial effect though is pretty strong. You can see this in the inability or the difficulty of the regime in selling oil or getting cash.”

What amazes me is how many of these guys and their families have visas to visit the Evil Empire. Many military honchos have their families living in the US, well, at least for now.

Try something else - how dare Chavez and Maduro provide our region with oil. How dare they tax US oil companies?

Meanwhile put Latin American children in cages - separate them from their parents and bawl about human rights elsewhere.
Fugg that shit.
