U.S. Imposes New Sanctions on Venezuelan Presidents Nephews and Others The U.S. has recently sanctioned three nephews of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, along with a Panamanian businessman, six companies, and six Venezuelan-flagged ships.

The move is part of President Trumps ongoing efforts to increase pressure on Venezuela, following the seizure of an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela.

Venezuelas National Assembly, dominated by government supporters, has passed a law to withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC), aiming to exit the global tribunal. This move comes after President Nicolás Maduros ally, Jorge Rodríguez, criticized the ICC for serving American imperialism instead of protecting people. The law will become effective once signed by Maduro and published in the official gazette. Venezuela joined the Rome Statute in 2000, allowing the ICC to investigate serious crimes since 2002. The withdrawal process requires notification to the UN Secretary-General, with the withdrawal taking effect one year later. However, existing obligations under the treaty remain. This decision follows Maduros government accusing the ICC of neglecting its duties, despite the ICC prosecutors office maintaining an active investigation into alleged crimes against humanity in Venezuela.
