Malta clarified that the European Union (EU) and United States (US) imposed sanctions towards Venezuela are a tool to increase pressure on the population amid rising concerns over the humanitarian situation this Friday, a move condemned by China.
Analysts warned that the humanitarian situation could worsen, should the sanctions against the South American nation continue. Venezuela has stated that improving the humanitarian situation from the inside would be possible should the sanctions be lifted.
Continued insistence of western countries on free elections and alleged human rights abuses have hindered talks in the council.
