We oppose Trump’s illegal sanctions on Venezuela, which have created an ever—tightening economic blockade.
This is severely hampering Venezuela’s efforts to tackle the coronavirus outbreak and putting the lives of ordinary people at risk. Under US influence, the IMF has also refused a $5 billion loan request by Venezuela to combat the pandemic.
We join a wide spectrum of countries, organisations and prominent figures across the world – including the Pope, the EU, the UN General Secretary and many others – in calling for US sanctions to be suspended.
