"US Reimposes Venezuela Sanctions as Court Blocks Opposition Candidate"
TL;DR Summary
The US government has revoked some of the sanctions relief granted to Venezuela after the country's highest court upheld a ban on the presidential candidacy of opposition leader María Corina Machado. The Department of the Treasury has given companies until Feb. 13 to wind down operations with Venezuela's state-owned mining company, following the court's decision. Machado, a prominent government critic, has vowed to stay in the race despite the ban and accused the ruling party of fear. The court's ruling has sparked condemnation from international organizations and political leaders, while tensions between the US and Venezuela continue to escalate.
