The US imposed sanctions on 16 allies of Venezuelan President Maduro, citing widespread voter fraud in the recent elections, which were rejected by several countries.
The Venezuelan government condemned the US sanctions as a "crime of aggression", asserting the US is attempting to manipulate a political class it labels as fascist.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasized the US commitment to accountability for those undermining democracy in Venezuela, condemning Maduro's actions post-election.
Sanctions target senior officials in Venezuela's electoral and judicial entities, as well as military and intelligence figures involved in post-election repression.
