That timeline grossly misrepresents the nature of the sanctions and is nothing more that a hit piece by a propaganda arm of the Venezuelan government. There is no freedom of press in Venezuela. Their take on law 113-278 is blatantly false. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-113publ278/pdf/PLAW-113publ278.pdf https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-113publ278/pdf/PLAW... Venezuelan sanctions targeting PDVSA sanctions start in EO 13808. https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/126/13808.pdf https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/126/13808.pdf The immigrants I see in my country are fleeing a dictatorship.
