US Bans Arms Sales to Venezuela - Gridlock Escalation
The US has escalated its stance against Venezuela. The US has imposed a ban on all commercial arms sales and licensing of defense articles and services to the government of Venezuela.
"For nearly a year, there has been a nearly total lack of cooperation with anti-terrorism, said Darla Jordan, a State Department spokeswoman.
This move is highly unusual since the other nations on this list 'Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Syria, for instance' are also on the 'state sponsor of terrorism' list, and Venezuela is not."
The US also claims that President Chavez has been harboring Colombian gorilla factions within the Venezuelan border. President Chavez has not imposed any retalliatory restrictions against the US at this time.
With the anouncement earlier on May 15, 2006 by President Bush that the US would post 6,000 national guard troops on the US border and now the ban on arms sales to Venezuela, the US appears to be taking actions locally in the America's that may not result in increased popularity with other American countries.
