US introduces new sanctions against Venezuela

US President Donald Trump launched new sanctions against Venezuela on Monday.

Under the new sanctions, it is forbidden for Americans to participate in financial transactions related to the Venezuelan sovereign debt or to the debts of state enterprises. 'This money belongs to the Venezuelan people,' Trump said in a statement in which he also called Maduro to 'restore democracy' and to hold 'free and fair elections. '

Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza called the sanctions 'madness, barbaric and in absolute contradiction with international law. '
