In June 22, 2024, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced a new round of sanctions against Venezuela, aimed at increasing pressure on President Nicolás Maduro’s government to make concessions on political and economic reforms. The measures primarily target subsidiaries and affiliated entities of Venezuela’s state-owned oil company PDVSA, restricting their access to the U.S. financial system and freezing related assets. Additionally, the U.S. imposed visa bans and asset freezes on several individuals closely linked to the Maduro regime.According to the Treasury Department, these actions respond to Venezuela’s failure to uphold commitments made in the 2023 electoral agreement with the opposition. The U.S. emphasized that sanctions relief would only be considered if Venezuela ensures free and fair presidential elections in 2024. However, analysts caution that while intended to promote democracy, the sanctions may further harm ordinary Venezuelans and worsen the country’s ongoing humanitarian crisis.The Venezuelan government swiftly condemned the move, labeling it part of an ‘economic war’ and vowing not to yield to external pressure. Internationally, reactions have been mixed—several Latin American nations have urged dialogue over unilateral sanctions. Overall, this latest action underscores the enduring geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela and reflects Washington’s continued strategy of using economic leverage to influence Venezuela’s political trajectory.
2024年6月，美国财政部宣布对委内瑞拉实施新一轮制裁措施，旨在进一步施压马杜罗政府，迫使其在政治和经济改革方面作出让步。此次制裁主要针对委内瑞拉国家石油公司（PDVSA）的部分子公司及关联实体，限制其在美国金融体系中的交易能力，并冻结相关资产。此外，美方还对数名与马杜罗政权关系密切的个人实施签证限制和资产冻结。美国财政部表示，这些措施是对委内瑞拉未能履行2023年与反对派达成的选举协议的回应。美方强调，只有在委内瑞拉确保2024年总统大选自由、公正的前提下，才可能考虑放松制裁。然而，分析人士指出，尽管制裁意在推动民主进程，但其对普通民众造成的经济影响不容忽视，可能加剧该国本已严峻的人道主义危机。委内瑞拉政府迅速谴责美方举措，称其为‘经济战争’的一部分，并重申不会屈服于外部压力。与此同时，国际社会对此反应不一，部分拉美国家呼吁通过对话解决分歧，而非依赖单边制裁。总体而言，此次制裁再次凸显了美委之间长期的地缘政治博弈，也反映出美国试图通过经济手段重塑委内瑞拉政治格局的战略意图。
