President Trump reacted to at recent political moves by Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro on Monday. According to Hot Air.com, Venezuela is bitterly protesting their president’s plans to scrap the country’s constitution. President Trump stated that if Maduro followed through on his plans, the U.S. would crack down on Venezuela through sanctions. The sanctions would target trade between the U.S. and Venezuela, particularly their oil trade. Many are worried for the country’s lower classes, whose suffering would likely increase if the U.S. does impose sanctions. However, the amount of corruption in the country has become increasingly intolerable to the United States and other nations in the region. ~ Sarah Schutte
