US Sanctions Maduro's Nephews Amid Venezuela Tensions
The US government has put sanctions on three nephews of Venezuela's President, Nicolás Maduro.
This means they can't use any money or property they have in the US.
The US is doing this to put more pressure on Maduro.
If any US companies, people, or banks do business with these nephews, they could also get in trouble.
This is part of the ongoing tensions between the US and Venezuela.
The US has sanctioned three nephews of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro: Franqui Flores, Carlos Flores, and Efrain Campo.
The sanctions aim to block access to US assets and prevent business dealings with the sanctioned individuals.
US companies, citizens, banks, and financial institutions that violate these sanctions may face penalties.
The move is part of the US's continued pressure on the Venezuelan government.
The sanctions were imposed on Thursday.
