The Trump administration has <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/us-issues-sanctions-family-members-associates-venezuelas-maduro-2025-12-19/">issued</a> new sanctions on the extended family members of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the sanctions on Friday, saying the move further targets the "narco-corruption structure" that sustains the "illegitimate regime" of the socialist leader.

“Today, Treasury sanctioned individuals who are propping up Nicolás Maduro’s rogue narco-state," Bessent said in a <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0343">press release</a>. "We will not allow Venezuela to continue flooding our nation with deadly drugs. Maduro and his criminal accomplices threaten our hemisphere’s peace and stability. The Trump Administration will continue targeting the networks that prop up his illegitimate dictatorship.”

Friday's action sanctions relatives of Carlos Erik Malpica Flores, the nephew of Maduro's wife, who the United States says was involved in a corruption plot at the state-run oil company, Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA).

His mother, father, sister, wife, and daughter were hit with the sanctions.

Malpica Flores himself was sanctioned by Washington last week.

The United States also sanctioned Roberto Carretero Napolitano and Vicente Luis Carretero Napolitano on Friday for their familial connections to Ramon Carretero Napolitano, a Panamanian businessman linked to Malpica Flores.

The new sanctions are part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to ramp up pressure on Maduro.

The Trump administration has sent thousands of troops to the region, along with an aircraft carrier, warships, and fighter jets. U.S. forces had seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela and declared a blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving the country. The U.S. military has also conducted more than 20 lethal strikes on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean, killing more than 100 alleged narco-terrorists to date.

President Donald Trump has also repeatedly said that strikes on land in Venezuela are coming soon.

Democratic lawmakers have accused the Trump administration of providing very limited information about the operations as it builds up military forces in the region.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday addressed those concerns.

"Nothing has happened that requires us to notify Congress or get congressional approval or cross the threshold into war," <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/rubio-says-not-concerned-about-escalation-with-russia-over-venezuela-2025-12-19/">Rubio said</a>.

Meanwhile, Maduro and his government have denied any links to crime, claiming that the United States is only pursuing regime change to take control of Venezuela's vast oil reserves.

“It is simply a warmongering and colonialist pretense, and we have said so many times, and now everyone sees the truth. The truth has been revealed,” Maduro said <a href="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/KvGzJ9E8SZg">during a speech</a> in Caracas on Wednesday.
