News Alert: US goes after ‘dictator’

The Treasury Department slapped sanctions on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, sending a clear signal of the Trump administration's opposition to his regime.

The move comes a day after Maduro declared a sweeping victory in a vote that will allow him to further consolidate his power in the crisis-torn nation.

"Yesterday's illegitimate elections confirm that Maduro is a dictator who disregards the will of the Venezuelan people," said Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin in a statement.

Venezuela's attorney general lambasted the election, which established a new legislative body made up entirely of Maduro's supporters.

"This is the end of freedom of expression," Attorney General Luisa Ortega said.
