Impact of the economic war against the people of Venezuela

“The United States prepares very significant additional sanctions against Venezuela”. That is the headline of the press today. The information was released by Elliott Abrams, who was named special envoy for Venezuela by Donald Trump's administration.

Other spokespersons from the White House gave similar statements. William Brownfield, along the same lines as Richard Nixon when he said "make the economy scream" referring to Chile in the early '70s, recently stated:

“If we are going to sanction PDVSA, it will have an impact on the entire people, on the common citizen. The counter argument is that the people suffer so much from the lack of food, safety, medicines, public health, that at this moment perhaps the best resolution would be to accelerate the collapse even if it produces a period of greater suffering of months or perhaps years.”
