Pompeo: US Preparing 'a Series of Actions' Against Venezuela
By Rick Moran September 23, 2018

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Fox News that the U.S. is preparing a "series of actions" against Venezuela's leaders to increase pressure on the government.

Reuters reports:

    “You’ll see in the coming days a series of actions that continue to increase the pressure level against the Venezuelan leadership folks, who are working directly against the best interest of the Venezuelan people,” Pompeo said. “We’re determined to ensure that the Venezuelan people get their say.”

It's about keeping China from owning the oil there.
