states is frozen venezuelan government assets blocking all american companies and individuals from doing business with president nicolas maduro administration and its supporters the measure is the 1st of its kind against the government in the western hemisphere in more than 30 years u.s. national security adviser john bolton has warned the sanctions will be imposed on anyone who supports us. president trump has taken a very strong lose here imposing these sweeping sanctions putting a full block a full freeze on all assets of all parts of the government of venezuela in the us and also imposing sanctions or set of the. situation to impose sanctions on any person or business that goes significant business with the government of venezuela so this goes well beyond anything we've done before and it really is a very strong move by the pros. but. is following all developments

a pretty wide ranging sanctions what reaction has there been to the. well most reactions from government officials here in venezuela who are saying that the united states is carrying out on economic terror and terrorism in the country overall banning venezuela from international financial markets and blaming the united states for the current economic crisis that exists in venezuela let's not forget there is currently hyperinflation in venezuela millions have fled what's currently happening here with shortages of food of medicine among other things of course the opposition says that the united states is not to blame for this latest crisis by the government mismanagement and corruption and also we've been talking to sorry this is not the 1st sanctions imposed by the united states that's a big back and in the past few years the united states has imposed sanctions and at least 100 individuals that belong to the venezuelan government we also know that

they have imposed sanctions heavy sanctions on venezuela phaedo company may they be so full this just adds to the current situation that we're seeing here. in the of course not so the people we have spoken to especially people on the street point of currency struggling are basically telling us that they're afraid of what is going to happen many of them cannot make ends meet that they're thinking about leaving the country joining. millions of venice williams will have that but those who they are saying the bay don't know what's coming next on the other side of the official leader of the united states recognized as a legitimate president all but it's weird because they do not recognize the elections that happened last year have this to say hearing that i've got. this is nothing to do with the purchasing of food medicine and protocol this doesn't have anything to do with it all goes against those who would rich themselves at the expense of people enrich themselves at the expense of people who need medicine. so

there is that then how have the sanctions so far the stress of them anyway affected the ongoing negotiations between the opposition and the government there. well this is a crucial situation that we're seeing here right now because it's very secret see the government and the opposition are meeting in barbadoes with the help of norway trying to find some way out of the current political and economic crisis it's not clear yet what points are being discussed we do know that the opposition is demanding free and fair presidential elections the government is saying that that's probably not going to happen they think that my terms and in 2025 whatever what's interesting about this whole thing question is that both the government and the opposition say that this latest sanctions won't affect the current negotiations however. the united states national security adviser john bolton said he leaves that this negotiations are going nowhere that they are your government and are

using them to gain time and this is something that in the past the opposition has already said they always accuse the government of using negotiations to win and for the united states base is one of those cases that i suppose with the latest from qatar because that is a thank you. where u.s. president shrugged all fears of a protracted trade war with china. he says investment is flooding into america and that the economy is strong trumps comments come a day after the u.s. treasury accused the china of currency manipulation our white house correspondent kimberly how reports. a strong economic position that's the claim the trump white house made amid an intensifying trade war turned currency dispute between the united states and china america's job for business america is open for business it's been a week of back and forth between the world's 2 largest economies and monday the

u.s. treasury accused china of currency manipulation following a sharp drop in the u.n. against the american dollar filling a campaign promise made by u.s. president donald trump. the drop comes following more u.s. tariffs on chinese goods last week 10 percent on 300000000000 products effect of september 1st china retaliated announcing its state run companies would stop buying u.s. agricultural products inflicting further strain on u.s. farmers but on twitter president trouble argued the u.s. is benefiting from the economic tit for tat massive amounts of money from china and other parts of the world is pouring into the united states companies are also coming to the u.s. in big numbers this is a transformative president. who is going in many places where prior presidents and both parties have feared to tread and i think part of that has to be trade. but the

trade war has hurt american farmers already the u.s. government has put in place to aid packages to compensate for the billions in lost sales for products like soybeans and pork to china and we hope to see fewer acts like this which serves no one's interests we also hope the us sticks to the facts and solves the u.s. china economic and trade issue more rationally. and practically rather than move further along the wrong path the white house says it's still working with china to negotiate what it calls the right deal it expects more talks with beijing in september kimberley health at al-jazeera the white house. still ahead in this half hour china issues its sternest warning yet over protests in hong kong. and writer nobel prize winner and champion of black america we look back at the life of tony morrison the iconic novelist who has died at the age of 80
