The US President, on Monday August 5, ordered a freeze on all Venezuelan government’s assets in the United States.
President Trump also barred transactions with its authorities due to the “continued usurpation of power” by President Nicolas Maduro.
An executive order released by the White House reads “All property and interests in property of the Government of Venezuela that are in the United States … are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in.”
