WASHINGTON, Nov 27 (Reuters) - The United States is imposing sanction on 21 senior Venezuelan officials for their role in suppressing protests after a presidential election in July, a senior administration official said on Wednesday.
Washington says President Nicolas Maduro falsely claimed victory in the vote in what it called a subversion of democratic norms. The United States says opposition leader Edmundo Gonzalez won and refers to him as the president-elect.
