US bans trade in new Venezuela bonds
The White House
Washington - Muslimchronicle
The White House on Friday announced potentially hard-hitting financial sanctions against the Venezuelan regime, banning the trade in new bonds issued by the government and its cash-cow state-run oil company PDVSA.
The White House said President Donald Trump had signed an executive order "imposing strong, new financial sanctions on the dictatorship in Venezuela."
"The president's new action prohibits dealings in new debt and equity issued by the government of Venezuela and its state oil company," it said in a statement.
"It also prohibits dealings in certain existing bonds owned by the Venezuelan public sector, as well as dividend payments to the government of Venezuela."

The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
