VENEZUELA: Washington and Caracas prepare for the Summit
With the Summit of the Americas in Panama looming, the US government has been trying to deflect the barrage of criticism it has received from Latin America on account of its most recent round of sanctions against Venezuelan government officials — or, more precisely, at the preamble to the announcement of those sanctions which spoke of ‘the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States posed by the situation in Venezuela’. Meanwhile, President Nicolás Maduro has been labouring to collect 10m signatures for a document condemning the sanctions which he intends to present to the Summit, and a parallel Summit of the Peoples gets underway.
