According to senior White House officials, the new sanctions are against four Venezuelan government officials involved in corruption and economic mismanagement. 

“This is a new expansion and prohibition from where we were before,” a senior White House official said.

The new sanctions come as the regime of President Nicolas Madura continues a crackdown against civilians in the country. The government is rationing power and the majority of the country is out of sufficient food and medical supplies.
