Washington, February 24 (RHC)-- The digital media Zero Hedge (ZH) has published information affirming that the United States continues to consider military actions as an option to overthrow Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro.   According to reports from Washington, despite all the previous failed attempts to destabilize the Bolivarian government, U.S. President Donald Trump is still considering the possibility of a naval blockade against the Venezuelan people.

The ZH article quotes Bloomberg's information according to which a senior U.S. official said that the Republican politician is frustrated by the failure of pressure actions against the Venezuelan president.  Apparently, economic and financial sanctions against Venezuela, as well as the attempt to block all its oil exports, are not "putting a sufficiently rapid or severe pressure" on Maduro.

A senior White House official told Bloomberg: “Trump believes a slow-moving bureaucratic process hasn’t delivered the swift, steady pressure on Maduro he’s sought... Trump has pressed for Maduro’s ouster since 2017.” 

Meanwhile, Washington is eager to intimidate oil companies doing business with the Venezuelan state-owned company PDVSA.  Among those business partners is a subsidiary of Rosneft, a Russian state oil company which was recently sanctioned by the U.S. government.

According to Bloomberg's sources, the White House wants to secure the international backing of Juan Guaido so that he ensures the loyalty of the military and therefore the control of the country.

To implement the new wave of destabilization actions, the U.S. strategists would seek to turn Spain into a key element in their campaign and instrumentalize the European Union against Maduro.

While these pieces manage to be placed on the board, the Trump administration executes several initiatives to maintain and increase pressure against the South American nation, the ZH article recalls.
