On Thursday, the U.S. Department of State released a statement on the one month anniversary of the Venezuelan election, calling for "a return to the respect of human rights and democratic norms in Venezuela, the release of all political prisoners, and an end to the arbitrary arrests and other acts of repression against members of the democratic opposition, media and civil society."
Just 4 days later, the Biden administration has decided to apply more pressure on the Maduro regime, by seizing an aircraft used by him for personal and professional reasons, citing violations of U.S. sanctions and other criminal activities, CNN reports.
