Venezuela orders expulsion of two US diplomats after new sanctions

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro ordered the expulsion of two top US diplomats a day after President Donald Trump ordered certain additional sanctions on Venezuela.

The order also bans the sale, transfer or acceptance as a guarantee of any collateral in Venezuela in which the Venezuelan government or a public entity holds over 50 per cent of shares.

Mr. Maduro also said that the diplomats must leave the country within 48 hours. He reiterated even though he wanted the best relations with the US but it seems not possible.
