When Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in November 2017 proposed a meeting with creditors to discuss a restructuring of the country’s public debt, the Trump administration warned US bondholders that attending this meeting could put them in violation of US economic sanctions against Venezuela, which can be punished with 30 years in jail and as much as $10 million dollars in fines for businesses.
That same month, the US government added further sanctions that prevent Venezuela from doing what governments routinely do with much of their debt, which is “roll it over” by borrowing again when a bond matures. The sanctions also made it difficult if not impossible for Venezuela to undertake debt restructuring, a process wherein interest and principal payments are postponed and creditors receive new bonds, which the sanctions explicitly prohibit.
Imagine trying to restructure debt and your creditors being banned from doing so by their government
Then said government calling other governments to restrict access to your own capital in other jurisdictions
Then using the entire PR machine to blame you for that crisis and offering "aid" to take you out
While funding a blatant shill who rallies and incites violences against the state
These are the so called values and so called democracy you support






another failed coup
