presidential election in the state of georgia. tro surrendered in atlanta before being released or $200000.00 bond. and before leaving georgia, trump insisted he's innocent. i did nothing wrong and everybody knows that i've never had such support that goes with the other ones to what they're doing is election interference or try to interfere with an election. there's never been anything like it in our country before. this is their way of campaigning. this is one instance, but you have 3 other instances for selection interference. a russian president vladimir has confirmed the death of the head of the wagner mercenary group. if different goshen was on a plane that crashed joseph moscow, put in a sent his condolences and described promotion as a quote man of difficult faith. but talented. the leaders of the bricks alliance have invited another 6 countries to join the block,

the stream is up next to the us. a call was of inside, typical or right the world. this has been going on for a number of years, how to do the 30. so an international perspective to try to explain to global audience how is this to impact the lives. this is an important part of the world, and i'll give you this very good that bringing the news to the world from here, the highest i me okay. on today's episode of the screen we are looking at this thing is of venice where us sanctions, how selected have they been and who's been impacted. we start 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 bit 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 comments section is now nice. this 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 mach wise, broad mouth is coast, all right to of the center for economic policy research, the washington d. c. so mock 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, 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 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 in distributed 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 to i think there is 2 important points to sacrifice. first, there's different types of sanctions. those that are targeted against specific government officials have no impact whatsoever. and that to many 10 situation. but i believe we're 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 compliance with sanctions and post by the us government that has made it harder for too many here in a to reach the country. however, i do think it's important to highlight that united states institution and then as well that was pretty dire fee for the and professional fashion. just look at

official data by the health ministry published 511-2121 fridays in 2017. it shows that the previous year maternity mortality increased by 65 percent and infant mortality 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 often. so i do think we need to, but the impact of the us sanctions in context, in a situation that has had being dire before and continues to be dire and are due to over compliance with the set up tomorrow on youtube. one of the few is his pipe top immediately and says this is basically american economic co washin. what would you say? fact 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 sanchez,

me 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 an, an effect that no one is going to support. however, the and proficient in the lifting of sanctions can be unimportant, totally, 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 human francisco. go ahead. sure. so, but as well as undergoing the largest economic contraction ever document. ringback in any country outside of more time, it's a contract of 72 percent or if it's 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 should, can be explained by the economic sanctions. now it's not the totality of faith,

but what we have to understand is that this economy is very highly dependent on oil revenues. 95 percent of the tech support are or are they going to come from will an oil exports, so a 93 percent of the time. 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 know, 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 to actually said definitely adequately which 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 was 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

are. ready focused on developing framework seconds or fort negotiated events. so they've been sol as government. and the opposition can find ways in which they can address some of the countries most starting problems. for example, 2 in a while for a specialist program that allows the country to regain access to us your panel of market uh with the condition that the resources that are produced as a result of those exports are oriented toward the 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 d martino, and tomorrow i won't 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 at east da has nothing to do with us sanctions and everything to do with the terrible social as far as the implemented, they took over people's businesses and destroyed private sector. so what else could

we expect on for seen 7300000 people like myself or to flee our country? and so i really question the motives of members of congress are, are fully for an age of sanctions. the don't affect the business one population because today you can send food medicine, a cash you can travel to venezuela 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 or well, i think, you know, things are not black and white and is that people will say there are different aspects, but 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 miss management site and it's set on a hardy's. it also has and then and it will be for the sanctions when the sit on the parties did have money. that was a consequence of selling boy, 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, is history shows that the so i'm sorry, don't give confessions perfect. and that there needs to be leverage and generating incentives for that negotiation. that's not the goal. it's talking about between the opposition and government to actually happen to get them to sit back. it's been a goal, she didn't pay but to get them to agree to specific measures to ask 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 presented by the company ministration, initially with the statement that options were on the table, including a possible military intervention was definitely and i would have fun to push for

a response in that would actually tiguan as well up to democracy, which is what we are look for. hey, francisco, it is what we look for is it for the us to impose democracy on of the nations on other countries or is it, is it for the us to, to make that decision? and then make sure i 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 this 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, your husband 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 that the car is not so so, so basically what happens is that and, and wayne with us and for his actions, it's not just us saying you can't sell oil in my market. it's the us saying if there is a european for ms panis 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. ringback we didn't 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 impressionable 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. ready 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, shall i go to the site to change his mind and negotiate. i want to go to the us border and just bring into 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. why not? 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 of the united states who signed the un charter, the chart of the organization of american states and the geneva conventions. oh, rose, prohibited the use of stations that target civilians. that harms the things that you 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 548-554-0000 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, have admitted this. here's, here's my pompei o. okay, from a press conference when the associated press reporter asked him, how are the 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 trumpet ministration. the purpose of these sanctions was to actually harm people and get them to uh, to overdraw their government, or at least get the amount of water. 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 in cuba. and they said what? because 1st of all they, they said all the things wrong. but they also said that you have full over $400000.00 vitamins at 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 from that as well. and you,

that's where there's 400000 casual. and so that's what you're so that, 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 code, by the way, the lead and the letter was, veronica 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 sentients were applied. this is what president the silver have to say about those issues. and how mature is dealing with that group? i really know what movie federal need 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 wor, usually,

soldiers and bottles died, blockade kills children, women and people who have nothing to do with the idea of logical dispute at play. you know, so i dream of a currency different than the dollar on. so we can negotiate plus between the countries who sell to us their products and who you buy from us for. if you go to both of us quite well, what do you think has been a change in the past 15? yes. because of the sanctions on venezuela. i think those statements i, president blue now are very unfortunate and in that say need and you had other presidents including private and body 2 is 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 southern crisis 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, the size of the bodies 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 in venezuela 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 trans policies included the profession of economic sanctions has contributed in large part due to over come science. but i don't think this is about just claiming someone as there is i might take the city of reasons for the benefit of the prices and the spelling crisis has 3 dimensions. it's the refugee crisis. it's

documented here in crisis. and it's the crass on on defense that includes the precincts that i want to bring francisco. and what i did ask you was what has been achieved. i also want to add that those sanctions, us sections begin beginning 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 i don't. 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. how can i always ask the question i'd like to so, so to my, i mean, yeah, go ahead. i'll let you finish that as the head. yeah, i wanted to say is like,

i don't think it. yeah. i think it's important to have this conversation because there is a perception of normalization about the situation in minnesota that i think we need to overcome and talk about the fact and not about narrative. as president buddha said in virginia recently in that video to show all right, uh, francisco. yeah, i don't think that there are some major disagreement on uh the diagnosis that sanctions have made an important contribution to them so, so you can on a crisis. but are that they're not the sole determinants there. now i would say now i also agree with them or that the relevant sanctions, economic sanctions workforce 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 prices, then anything that changes its over at lease is going to the pre impact that. so yes, the migration price is targeted with. ready for us in 2014 as oil prices started collapsing. ringback prices fell from a $100.00 a barrel to $30.00

a barrel. any time investment in history and any other oil exporting countries, that's going to generate a major economic prices. and that's what happened between 20142016. now what happens from 2017 on it's somewhat different because oil prices started recovering in 2017 and a group like 80 percent between uh that moment in 2018 and uh, never less but as well as economy did not recover as of usually that went all across is what cover and gas because it's oil sector was collapsing and there's very strong evidence. it's published and, and, 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 happened, effect on mortality as he was saying. and it's not just one of the most well in case of cross national estimates indicate that essentially step is so it leads to an increase a to it because kind of 1.2 years in male life expectancy in francisco years in the

mail. a lot of the things you just check on living because 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, the central freight team and posing that as well that has led to a sharp decline in 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 sections for corners, faces, corruption, stations who have sanctioned into us. recently president trump admitted that his policies towards venezuela weren't aim at ceasing it's oil. it is acceptable for any nation to what the nice their power against less privilege nations,

the suffering, the tactics like these have cost to innocent people is simply unforgivable smoke. you've got us started off in this conversation generally, politically do sanctions work? well, i mean, the work is there is the purpose, is it, as 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 it is a really big that's, you know, that's a huge part of this gigantic record decline in the event as well and economy. 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 our last 3 years. and that's only after the sanctions called the 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 the work and also 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 the on it. thank you for your comments on nature. if you as a sun k francisco tomorrow, a mock to being part of our program today. appreciate it. take care everybody. i'll see you next news
