Mark Weisbrot and Francisco Rodriguez Breakdown US Sanctions Impact on Life in Venezuela

Get the report: The Human Consequences of Economic Sanctions by Francisco Rodríguez https://bit.ly/42rzvqH _________ For more than 15 years, the United States has been imposing a wide variety of economic sanctions against Venezuela, claiming the South American country has aided in drug trafficking, sponsored terrorism, and committed human rights abuses. In 2017, then-US President Donald Trump ramped up these sanctions in an aim to oust Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, adding that a “possible military option” was on the table. But US efforts to dismantle Venezuela’s elected government fell short, and civilians have borne the ill-effects of US sanctions. Sanctions led to more than 40,000 deaths in 2017-2018. They’ve also increased diseases and worsened mortality, forced millions of people to leave the country, and are a major factor in an economic collapse that has left people scrambling to find food and medicine.
