Local Editor
The United States will not recognize the result of Venezuela's presidential election on Sunday, according to US Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan.
Meanwhile, the US is actively considering oil sanctions on Venezuela and Sullivan said a response to Sunday's vote would be discussed at a G20 meeting in Buenos Aires on Monday.
"We need to make sure we adhere to our goal which is to target corrupt regime officials and not the people of Venezuela," Sullivan said. "We don't want to damage the country in a way that makes it difficult to repair after democracy is restored."
He called oil sanctions "a very significant step." "They are under active review," he said.
