highest i me okay. on today's episode of the screen, we are looking at 16 years of venice where us sanctions, how affected have they been ad, who's been impacted? we stopped with former president, trump speaking on june. the 10th how about with buying oil for venezuela? when i left that as well, it was ready to collapse. we would have take it over. we would have got all that oil. it would have been right next door for the president, trump saying the quiet bid out a loud. how impactful of sanctions, good policy to alter the just collectively punish an entire nations for the deeds of that politicians. that is what we're talking about today. on youtube, we are inviting you to be part of the conversation as well. the comment section is now nice. that's meet an expert gas joining us from denver, colorado francisco retreat. this is an economist,

profess at the university of denver, as joseph coldwell school of international studies. joining us from once every day or guy is tamara, tara sick, bona director of the piece of the bell root of your program at the inter american dialogue. adding portion of d c, monica weiss brought mild is coast, all right to of the center for economic policy research, the washington d. c. set mach in a sentence 15 years of sanctions on venezuela. what do we have today? what's been the results as well? the result, the biggest part of the result is the worst decline in you know, the worst depression really in the history of latin america is francisco. we'll talk about that. i think also these sanctions are a form of economic warfare and they mainly target the civilian population. and

that's why they have an impact. uh, that's similar to actual wars. and a lot of people noticed, you know, representative jim a cover who was the chair of the house, a rules committee, when the democrats have the house, he wrote a letter to president buying. and he asked him to get rid of the sanctions as well . and he said that the sanctions that they had or industry a minute. and he said purposely so. so he explained how it was, as he said, the venezuelan official, i've got the ones who were suffering but the people. and it was actually that he explained, no, that was the purpose of the sanctions. and that is the purpose, i think. and it's illegal under treaties that we've signed and, and it's terribly wrong. well, what's the purpose of the us sanctions? best face dean. yes. he thinks there is 2 important points to satisfy. first, there's different types of sanctions. those that are targeted against specific

government officials have no impact whatsoever. and the to many 10 situation. but i believe we are talking here and what mark was referring to is like, is the economic sanctions that have an impact on the art sector? and what we have seen is that there is a problem with over on science with sanctions imposed by the us government that have made it harder for too many here need to reach the country. however, i do think it's important to highlight that you might have 10 institution administer and that was pretty dire fee for the and professional fashion. just not that official data by the head ministry published by 11. it said on fridays in 2017. it showed that the previous year maternity mortality increased by 65 percent and inside by kennedy had increased by 30 percent. and these statistics, which had not been made public for a long time, were made public by a health minister that was quickly is taken off of it. so i do think we need to,

but the impact of the us sanctions in context, in a situation that has had been dire before and continues to be dire and are due to over compliance with the set up tomorrow on youtube. one of our fuses pipe top immediately and says this is basically american economic question. what would you say back to them? is that watching right now is this american collection? is that the whole point of sanctions on venezuela? i don't think that sanctions need to be or should be an end in and often says they should be a tool to try to improve conditions in the country. obviously if they have an impact on the humanitarian situation and on the people they have and, and the fact that no one is going to support. however, the end position in the lifting of sanctions can be unimportant solely to criminal with that transition to democracy. together with other tools,

including for example, international accountability for grace, human rights violations that has been committed in minnesota and which amount to crimes against you, man francisco. go ahead. it turns out so that as well as undergoing are the largest economic contraction ever document. ringback in any country outside of our time, it's a contract of 72 percent of its income per capita. we're talking the equivalent of 3 great depressions and what the evidence shows is that a large part of this contract, so it can be explained by it on such as now it's not the totality of faith. but what do we have to understand is that this economy is very highly dependent on oil revenues. 95 percent of the tech sports are already already come from will an oil exports, so a 93 percent, that's fine. and there have been several studies that have looked at the impact of sanctions on oil production. and they found a very significant ongoing production. so venezuela is we're right now as

a result of such as now again, sensors are not the only driver and some arrows. absolutely right. that situation was very complicated and but as well uh before sanctions but actually said definitely adequately a bit. you already have try what was a large economic crisis in 2016 into all of the largest catastrophe that we've ever seen outside of war time. how's this guy going to tell our audience that you'll the found of oil says venezuela's, that's a non profit organization. and you focused on finding you can finish the sentence here. what are you focused on finding a nice lose just about as well as you manage here in the process of particular, we were focused on developing framework seconds or fort negotiated events. so that vessels, government, and the opposition can find ways in which they can address some of the countries most starting problems. for example, to an oil for a specialist program that allows the country to regain access to us your piano of markets with the condition that the resources that are produced as

a result of those exports are oriented toward attending the needs of, of and as well as under international supervision. all right, so i want to bring in this extra voice, we spoke of a to daniel de martino and tomorrow i will have a listen to daniel then respond immediately of the back of what he told us. here is the reason, but as well as in the terrible economic crisis, it is to a has nothing to do with us actions and everything to do with the terrible social as far as the implemented, they took over people's businesses and destroy a private sector. so what else could we expect on forcing 7300000 people like myself or to flee our country? and so i really question the motives of members of congress are a fully for an interest change. the don't affect the business one population because today you can send food medicine, a cash. you can travel to them as well because it's not the same as to the size is only for the groups of the top of the stronger country. and those should continue

as well. i think, you know, things are not black and white and especially cool. we'll say there are different aspects that impact on economic conditions and the situation, but an impact addition in the country. one that we haven't mentioned that i think is critical is the track record of mismanagement by and is that on a hardy's that also has and, and, and you know, before the sanctions when the sit on the parties did have money, that was a consequence of salad oil, they didn't necessarily use it for the good of the people and so there's actually no guarantees of that money would have been funded to actually support the united parents situation. and then in addition to the point they think is critical. busy history shows that the, so i'm sorry these don't give concessions for free and that there needs to be leverage and generating incentives for that negotiation that goes back about

between the opposition and government to actually happen to get them to sit back has been a goal. she didn't pay but to get them to agree to specific measures to help the people and to transition to democracy and then eventually to implement those agreement. so i think it's essential to push in that direction through. i'm positive. that means including using sanctions, but i do think that the way they were present that by the compet ministration, initially with the statement that all the options were on the table, including a possible military intervention, was definitely a lot of fun to push for a response in. busy that would actually tiguan as well up to democracy, which is what we are look for as far as the scope it is. what we owe look for is it for the us to impose democracy on of the nations on of the countries or is it,

is it for the us to, to make that decision? and then make sure can normally they call thrive. if they don't follow what the us tells them today as well, i don't think it is, but i think that the rest of the contrast, the community doesn't think that it should be either there's something really important and sometimes overlook about sash or something. so which is that the us is the only country that has imposed economic sanctions on, but it's all that. and by that i mean sanctions, we're splitting that as well as sales are 4 sections. we're slipping. that as well as access to the global financial market. it's only the us, you're a has been actually might be or this in rejecting economic sanctions and focusing only on personal sanctions. however, the us, despite being just one case of the world economy, is incredibly powerful because the us controls access to the us financial system. and towing capacity to carry out transactions in dollars and 80 percent of global transactions occur in dollars and us dollars it because not so so. so basically what happens is that and, and wayne with us and for his actions,

it's not just the us thing. you can't sell oil in my market. it's the us saying, if there is a european for him, is punished for i'm a french for an indian for him or that besides to buy that as well. i know it was that besides to help sell that as well and what else would that provide inputs for the better? so an oil industry we will sanction them also. ringback so they're sending credit and power and impairment, of course that's being used by the us. and i think what's really intentional about this is that absolutely no disagreement and fully in agreement. ready the us targeting individuals think last my little himself and people in his routine, particularly those who on which there is evidence that have been in full in human rights abuses and incorruption, but targeting to venezuela any time use something different targeting independence on economy. me is targeting vulnerable, but as well it is that i think that there's something really wrong about saying we're going to hold that as low as hostage. we're going to hold the wellbeing of that as well as hosted on show my to to decide to change his mind and negotiate. i

want to go to the us border and just bringing to migrants who have been forced for economic reasons to leave the country. this system speaking in early may and then i'm going to just bring back mount k, because if this is an infringement of international, the sanctions, i'm making people leave the country. then what happens? let's listen to my goods fast. the numbers. no, i have not. so it's about 10 to myself and because many friends of turned themselves in unhappy insight into mexico and mexico, they are practically killing us several bills have been kidnapped into quantity one of the i don't want to go back to venezuela because if there's breakfast, there's no dinner, if there's lunch, there's no dinner, and there are no shoes for the children. for medicines, people are dying and manly. i want to give my children a better quality of life. what can you explain why international is always being broken? yes, well 1st of all, you have a whole set of treaties that the united states has signed the un charter,

the chart of the organization of american states and the geneva conventions. oh rose, prohibited the use of the sanctions that target civilians that harms the things that kill and i want to emphasize that they kill civilians are, you know, in the 1st year of sanctions, the mortality of venezuelans. and then trump sanctions from 2017, went up by 40 a by, by 40000 dest. okay? so it's tens of thousands of people that have died in these sanctions, at a minimum, and that's just the 1st year. and so i think that this is really important. this is the most important thing to get away with this because most people don't realize that you know, other people have, haven't admitted this. here's, here's my pump pail. okay, from a press conference when the associated press reporter asked of our sanctions going in venezuela? and he says, well, i think things are really going good for the venezuelan people. he said the

humanitarian crisis is tightening by the hour. you can see the increasing pain and suffering that the venezuela people are suffering from. that was his exact words. and this was and he said the same thing about it wrong and they make it, he didn't hide it. okay. for the truck administration. the purpose of these sanctions was to actually harm people and get them to uh, to overdraw their government, or at least get them out of office. so, oh, and that, that's what the sanctions do. and they know this and people of course, who want to get rid of the sanctions also know this, and it's pretty, it's pretty difficult to hide this. i think that that's one of the sections will and is what everybody knows is, you know, just if i can give one example. a similar example you have in congress because you have now, for example, 21. the members of congress have signed the letter just may 1st the same and get

rid of the sanctions. and this is the story i just haven't had before. 21 members of congress said, you know, i wrote a letter to the ministrations, get rid of the sanctions on venezuela and cuba. and they said why? because 1st of all they, they said all the things wrong. but they also said that you have the full over 400000 mileage of the border increase in the last uh uh, 6 months. and i'm sorry, in the last year 2022 is 4 or 414000. and that was a 361 percent increase of the migrants proven as well. and june. that's where there's 400000 k for. and so that's what you're so that's going to become an issue in the elections going forward. and i think that's one of the reasons they wrote to, to buy them because they know very well and, and, and one of the coated, by the way, the lead and the letter was front of asked the bar who's a co chair, binds campaigns. so it's a serious political issue as well. okay. i, i,

i want to bring in, i know that the silver, the president of brazil q was meeting with the president of venezuela. quite recently tomorrow. i know you said that they were issues with governance before the sentence were applied. this is what president the silver have to say about those issues and how mature is dealing with them? i could buy the leaves. is it his fault? no, it's the united states as vault who made an extremely exaggerated blockade. i always say that a blockade is worse than war because in a war, usually soldiers and bottles died. blockade kills children, women and people who have nothing to do with the idea of logical dispute at play. also, i dream of a currency different than the dollar. so we can negotiate between the countries who sell to us their products and who you buy from us for if you go to different built of use quite well, what do you think has been a change in the past 15?

yes. because of the sanctions on venezuela. a look, i think those statements. i president luna, we're very unfortunate and in that say need and you had other presidents including private and bought each was also from center last explaining that there are serious concerns about the human rights situation. in minnesota, so i, i think we can over simplify the set on prices and talk about whether it's on the or isn't on the responsibility of the us sanctions that's playing into the narrative by then instead of patients that have typically blame someone else for issues for what you say are on the me and the size of the body. is it part of the responsibility of the us though? would you acknowledge that partly responsible because um like whats turning up on the border of the us because they can't live. invite us. we know anymore, so it's a some risk for migration crisis. the migration increases in minnesota started in 2014. i was in the,

at the border interviewing people were leaving and they were leaving because of multiple reasons including, but many times situation before the crisis a was created by section. so i don't think it factory says name the united states for everything. i do see, i think, as i said, that term policies included in professional economic sanctions has contributed in large part due to over on science. but i don't think this is about just blaming someone as there is i'm. i took the city of reasons for the benefit of prices and the spelling crisis has 3 dimensions. it's the refugee crisis. it's documented here in crisis, and it's the crash on, on defense that includes the dispute because i want to bring francisco. and what i did ask you was what has been achieved. and i also want to add that those sanctions, us sections begin, began in 2006 i people turned off on the board in 2014 passing the same time 9 in a sentence was but 2 years before as 2014 at all. yeah. and $10.00 to $14.00 is 2 years

before the end, sufficient. that would be good. i'm extensions on minnesota, but i'm not here to defend the sanctions imposed by that united states. i just think we need to, inc. and i create a picture that includes the impact of factions, but is not necessarily the only reason why venezuela is in the disaster situation, but it is today, can i always have to point to the right to so, so to my, i mean, i mean, yeah, go ahead i'll let you finish, send us the go ahead. the only thing i wanted to say is like, i don't think it. yeah. i think it's important to have this conversation because there's a perception of normalization about the situation in minnesota that i think we need to overcome and talk about the facts and not about narrative as president. and the said in virginia recently in that video to show uh right. uh, francisco. yeah, yeah, i, i don't think that there are some major disagreement on uh,

the diagnosis that sanctions have made an important contribution to that so. so you can on a crisis, but they are that they're not the sole determinants there. now i would say now i also agree with them or that the relevance actions the comic sanctions were put in 2017. but we also have to understand that as well as a country that says it's highly dependent on over at least an oil price. is there anything that changes its over at lease is going to deeply impact that? so yes, the migration process started with full force in 2014. as oil prices started collapsing, our prices fell from a $100.00 a barrel to $30.00 a barrel. any time investment in history, in any other oil exploring country, that's going to generate a major economic prices. and that's what happened between 20142016. now what happens from 2017, on a somewhat different because oil prices started recovering in 2017 and grew by 80 percent between uh that moment and 2018 and uh,

never less but as well as economy did not recover as it usually did when our prices will cover, and that's because it's oil sector was collapsing and there's very strong evidence . it's published in and many journals that scientists have had a very significant effect. but i do want to point out something here which is which, which is really important. it relates to something that marks that there's also a very strong published evidence that sanctions have an effect on mortality as he was saying. and it's not just as well in case across national estimates indicate that essentially step is sort of leads to an increase a to a decline of 1.2 years in male life expectancy in francisco years in the mail. obviously it's a huge effect on living condition. i want to bring in a voice from venezuela to add to that concept of we all suffering here because of the sanctions. this is michelle allen, as the central free demon pulse on that as well. that has led to a sharp decline of national income, the deterioration of public services,

and limited access to essentials such a food and medicine under such a harsh program. and it will be difficult for any government regardless of their ideology, to find appropriate solutions. and even that dependence on government has implemented on was policies in the u. s. a. right to impose middle section. i mean, in the us over 40000000 people live below the poverty level. well senator bowman, and that's one of the main factions for court in phases, corruption stations who have section in the us. recently president trump admitted that his policies towards venezuela were aimed at ceasing its oil. it is unacceptable for any nation to weather nice, their power against less privilege, nations the suffering. the tactics like these have cost to innocent people is simply unforgivable. most people have started off in this conversation, generally, politically do sanctions work? well, i mean, the work is, there is the purpose is this, upon peo explained to, to make people suffer and make the government more unpopular. but i want to focus

or just one minute on the economics of this, because i think this will clarify some of the yeah, we have one minute mark, so make it ok. we flip impactful, higher inflation is a, is a really big. that's your, that's a huge part of this gigantic record decline in the event as well and autonomy and that was caused by the sanctions. i. and you can see that because the typical hyper inflation in latin america since world war 2 is last is 4 months. and then as well as the last 3 years, and that's only after the sanctions talk about why i'm going to leave us with the voice of president the general who is hopeful that by 2024 when elections happen in venezuela, the sanctions will be lifted. have a list and have a look, but we'll have you have a lot of spoken to. so we are going to discuss because we want free elections, free of sanctions, free of unilateral coercive measures. the elections will be free of sanctions.

there is no other option. that is the dilemma. do you want free fair and transparent elections? then they must be elections free of sanction. leave it as long as you want to. thank you for your comments on youtube. you as a sign to francisco tamara, a mock slipping top of our program today. appreciate it. take care everybody. i seen x the the
