WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Friday imposed new sanctions on eight Venezuelan officials and increased the reward for the arrest of President Nicolas Maduro on the day of his inauguration to a third term following a disputed election last year.
It was the latest in a series of punitive steps by the outgoing Biden administration against Maduro's government in aftermath of the July vote, which both his ruling Socialist party and the OPEC nation's opposition claim to have won.
