According to Tillerson, the US government continues to consider the imposition of oil sanctions, namely, the ban on the supply and sale of oil and petroleum products to Venezuela.
The US Secretary of State also spoke for more stringent actions against the government of Nicholas Maduro. Namely, he hints at the destruction of Venezuelan democracy.
Over the past months, Washington has repeatedly imposed personal sanctions against Venezuelan officials. At the same time, the US remains one of the largest buyers of Venezuelan oil.
