The Trump administration on Monday escalated its efforts to force Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro from power, blocking all U.S. revenue to Venezuela’s
national oil company and calling on members of its armed forces to switch their allegiance to the man the United States now recognizes as Venezuela’s head of
state.

Any attempt to harm remaining U.S. diplomats in Venezuela, or violence against the newly recognized president, Juan Guaidó , “will be met with a significant response,” White House national security
adviser John Bolton said.

President Trump “has made it very clear all options are on the table,” said Bolton, who announced the sanctions at a white House press briefing alongside
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin
For the moment, the administration is depending on economic and diplomatic measures to squeeze Maduro, who has refused to leave and charged the United States with trying to overthrow his government. Pentagon officials have indicated they have no orders to prepare for military action toward Venezuela. But by starving Maduro of a critical source of cash, the Trump administration has dramatically increased the pressure on his government.

Bolton said that Venezuelan “official and military personnel” were already “heeding this call” to change sides, noting that the military attache at the country’s embassy in Washington has publicly recognized Guaidó’s government, as has the Venezuelan Consulate in Miami. He also said that several unnamed generals who last week publicly pledged loyalty to Maduro were already in contact with the opposition.

The measures announced Monday place sanctions on PDVSA, the Venezuelan state oil company, freezing $7 billion in U.S.- based assets and blocking more than $11 billion in revenue that would otherwise flow from oil sales over the next year, Bolton said.

At least 20 other countries, most of them in the Western Hemisphere, have joined the United States, which recognized Guaidó, 35, as the legitimate president of Venezuela on Wednesday. At a U.N. Security Council meeting Saturday, several leading
European governments threatened to recognize Guaidó, the elected president of the opposition-controlled National Assembly, unless a plan for new elections was announced by the end of this week.

trump pls come n do the same thing in Nigeria.recognize saraki as president

Here in Nigeria d sycophantic aides of Buhari are shouting up and down about Nigeria being a sovereign state and not a colony. One even said mass action by Nigerians cant change the course of justice. If America becomes interested in d happenings here u will be surprised at d speed Nigeria might be emasculated out both politically n economically. Just place travel restrictions on these tyrannical leaders and their families and deny them medical tourism abroad and u see how they will chicken out. Just like in Nigeria, d opposition controls d legislative arm in Venezuela and if d jihadists Buhari continues his usurpation of d powers he doesn't have believe me Saraki might laugh last. The timing of this Trumps action should be instructive to d FG only if they have imaginative acumen

This is the same fate that awaits the tyrant that occupies aso rock if he continues to undermine the Nigerian constitution.

All the judiciary need to do is do their assignment and give a final verdict as to the illegality of Buhari's action then the world will take it up from there and he will be tamed like a dog.

meanwhile, Thousands of Venezuelans filled the streets Saturday accusing embattled President Nicolas Maduro of usurping power and joining the
nation’s re-invigorated opposition movement in demanding he step down as the country reels from a crushing economic crisis forcing millions to flee or go hungry.

Large crowds of protesters gathered in Caracas waving flags and chanting “Get out Maduro!” in what was shaping up to be the largest demonstration since a wave of unrest that left more than 120
dead in 2017.
