United States expands Venezuela visa bans
The United States has imposed visa restrictions on unnamed Venezuelan officials it accuses of human rights violations and corruption.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said the measures were an attempt to violate Venezuelan sovereignty.
They build on sanctions imposed last year on officials alleged to have violated the rights of protesters.
The list of officials banned from entering the US has been extended, and now includes family members.
