WASHINGTON _ The Trump administration called on members of the United Nations Security Council Monday to take bold moves to isolate Venezuela's top officials, by launching money-laundering probes of certain members of the regime and blocking them from accessing their financial networks.
Nikki Haley, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, pushed fellow ambassadors during a special meeting of the 15-member Security Council on corruption to take concrete action against Venezuela and warned there could be consequences for those who continued to support the government of President Nicolas Maduro.
"The one thing that I think we should start to look at is any country that is doing business with Maduro and his government is purposefully hurting the people of Venezuela," Haley said. "Now the attention needs to go on those countries that are giving support to Maduro and continuing to get rich off of Maduro's regime and we need to say enough is enough."
