flag U.S. sanctions seven Maduro allies over corruption and drug ties, escalating pressure on Venezuela.

flag The U.S. has imposed sanctions on seven family members and associates of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, targeting relatives of Maduro’s nephew and a Panamanian businessman linked to corruption at Venezuela’s state oil company. flag The move, part of the Trump administration’s broader campaign, aims to disrupt networks supporting Maduro’s regime, which the U.S. calls a “rogue narcostate” involved in drug trafficking and corruption. flag The sanctions restrict access to U.S. financial systems and are accompanied by a blockade on sanctioned oil tankers, military buildup in the southern Caribbean, and warnings of potential land strikes. flag Venezuela denies wrongdoing, accusing the U.S. of seeking regime change to seize its oil wealth.
