Feb. 18 (UPI) -- The Trump administration said Tuesday it has leveled new sanctions against Russian company Rosneft Trading for actively helping Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro get around existing U.S. penalties.
Officials told reporters the new sanctions target all Rosneft assets in the United States and apply to anyone engaged in business with the Moscow-based firm, which is a subsidiary of Russian oil giant Rosneft. Officials said the move allows 90 days for companies to "wind down" their relationship with Rosneft.
