Trump Ratchets Up Sanctions on Venezuela In Midst of Global Pandemic
In this segment of By Any Means Necessary on Radio Sputnik, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jaquie Luqman are joined by Leo Flores, Latin America Campaign Coordinator for CODEPINK: Women for Peace, to talk about his new article in the Grayzone, how Venezuela has managed to keep the novel Coronavirus relatively contained despite a recent ratcheting-up of US sanctions, how the IMF is using the "lack of clarity" caused by the existence of Juan Guaido's parallel US-backed would-be government to deny Venezuelans access to a $5 billion loan, and whether the "maximum-pressure" sanctions campaign and decimation of the global oil market mean Venezuela may need to lean on its friends and allies in the coming months.
