Venezuela-related sanctions target which?

Sanctions are set to a specific country and the people, entities, and activities tied to that country’s policy. In this case, the measures are aimed at Venezuela under U.S. policy, meaning designated Venezuelan government officials, state-owned entities, and others linked to the regime are the targets. It’s not a blanket sweep of the Caribbean or all Latin American governments, and it isn’t limited to Venezuelan currency alone. The scope is defined by the policy and the designated parties, with restrictions that block assets and prohibit certain transactions involving those named.
