Business Matters: The US Puts Fresh Sanctions on Venezuela

The US Puts Fresh Sanctions on Venezuela

BBC World Service - Business Matters, The US Puts Fresh Sanctions on Venezuela

America has banned Venezuela's state-owned oil company from selling new bonds in the US.

The US has called President Nicolás Maduro's government a dictatorship, but Venezuela says it won't allow America to encourage a humanitarian crisis to develop. We get the latest from the BBC's Will Grant in Cuba. Plus, as thousands of Texans flee Hurricane Harvey, we ask what impact it will have and how oil production might be affected. And what power should tech companies have in censoring the internet? Susannah Streeter is joined throughout the programme by economist Sean Turnell from Yangon in Myanmar.
