President Joe Biden's administration said that Venezuelan government assets in the United States, notably of the state oil company, would remain legally under the authority of the opposition-led National Assembly, which was elected in 2015 but has been disempowered by Maduro's leftist government.

Maduro jura para un tercer mandato como presidente de Venezuela

El gobierno de Estados Unidos incrementó este viernes la recompensa por información que lleve a la captura de Nicolás Maduro a $25 millones, igualando la cantidad ofrecida en el pasado por Osama Bin Laden. Esta medida forma parte de una estrategia más amplia para desmantelar la “estructura represiva y antidemocrática” del régimen venezolano, según indicó el Departamento de Estado.

El anuncio llega acompañado de nuevas sanciones financieras impuestas por el Departamento del Tesoro a altos funcionarios del gobierno de Maduro, acusados de corrupción y violaciones a los derechos humanos. Entre los sancionados se encuentran Héctor Andrés Obregón Pérez, presidente de Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), y Douglas Rico, director del CICPC, ambos señalados por desempeñar roles clave en las operaciones de represión del régimen.
