On January 28, Washington announced the imposition of sanctions against Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA. The restrictive measures include the freezing of some 7,000 million dollars in assets that this company maintains in US territory, to which is added an estimated loss of 11,000 million dollars for its exports over the next few years.
